A sadder cloud did rush, I ween,

Betwixt it and his eyes.

Then dimly dropped his eyes away

From welkin unto hill—

Ha! who rides there?—the page is 'ware,

Though the cry at his heart is still:

And the page seeth all and the knight seeth none,

Though banner and spear do fleck the sun,

And the Saracens ride at will.
