From that red woodland gliding. These each knight

Graced with obeisance and "Our lord," said one,

"Tenders ye courtesy until the dawn;

The Earl Sir Damas; well in his wide keep,

Seen thither with due worship, ye shall sleep."

And then they came o'erwearied to a hall,

An owlet-haunted pile, whose weedy wall

Towered based on crags rough, windy turrets high;

An old, gaunt giant-castle 'gainst a sky

Wherein the moon hung foam-faced, large and full.
