First lines
A Part Of The Story Omitted In The Old Romances.
I. How sir Galahad despaired of finding the Grail.
Through the wood the sunny day / Glimmered sweetly glad; / Through the wood his weary way / Rode sir Galahad.
All about stood open porch, / Long-drawn cloister dim; / 'Twas a wavering wandering church / Every side of him.
