To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These stalwart knights who loved to fight and feast, Nor often let the abbey walls resound To the bright music of their clinking steel, Reformed by death, now prayed eternally. With hands devoutly joined, and mailed feet Upon th' ancestral lion stiffly placed ! And she, the virgin daughter of the house, Who best mid convent lilies might have lived, Faded with them, and laid her vestal form In its last slumbers 'neath their drifted blooms, Xor habit wore, nor cross, nor heavy coif. Such as besee...m the spouses of the Lord, But simplest robes, and o'er her guileless face Beauty's best veil, the veil of mystery. Lo ! she of all the mighty ones at rest Would silence counsel, yet alone did speak ; And mute perchance in life, when ruder tones Of kinsmen echoed round her, had in death A voice to bridge the chasm of years wherein They and their noisy deeds engulfed lay ! The heavens flamed and paled ; the twilight hour Descended with the dew on humbler graves Without the porch. I left the church and paced THE SILENT KNIGHT.
