Last night I slept—it might have been this morning,

I cannot tell—and, as I slept, methought

That as I wandered all alone, amid

The moonlight tombs of some old cloistered square,

I saw a man, arrayed in monkish frock,

And yet (so much at variance with themselves

Are sleeping fantasies) he was no monk,

But some young errant knight of noble rank,

The very flower of gentle chivalry!

Entranced, I gazed upon him, marvelling much
