But the march of the viewless train

Went on to a royal fane,

Where a priest his night-hymn sang.

There was knocking that shook the marble floor,

And a voice at the gate, which said—

“That the Cid Ruy Diez, the Campeador,

Was there in his arms array’d;

And that with him, from the tomb,

Had the Count Gonzalez come

With a host, uprisen to aid!
