A NEW KNIGHT.TO A SCHOOLBOY.
Here you sit with a picture-book,
And stare at a knight with his armour on,
While the bird that waited for you to look
At his scarlet coat is surely gone.
He sings too low and he sings too near?—
It is Roland's horn you would like to hear?
And stare at a knight with his armour on,
While the bird that waited for you to look
At his scarlet coat is surely gone.
He sings too low and he sings too near?—
It is Roland's horn you would like to hear?
Why, the horn of Roland was only blown
Because there was something wrong, you know,
When the world was dark. But the world has grown
A trifle brighter since then, and so
We are looking around for some new knight
Whose horn shall tell us of something right.
Because there was something wrong, you know,
When the world was dark. But the world has grown
A trifle brighter since then, and so
We are looking around for some new knight
Whose horn shall tell us of something right.
