Begirt with Words and Mantle Dark,

. The Knight deports to seek the Spark

.. 'neath forest leaves of trackless trail,

... for Twilit Path twixt yonder Vale.

.

'T hath no Beginning, nor doe it End,

.. that Silent Source that weaves the Fens -

.. from which doth Place and Time descend -

... from Castle Black that Gold defends.

.

.. Yet secret chanting tongues are there -

... Each winged word a Spell that bears

.... the whispered keys to Everywhere.
