Verse For To-day
I seek it on the height At flush of dawn, When summits pulse with light, And veils are drawn; But a mist ascends and chills With numbing fingers pale, And a gloom is on the hills: I do not see the Grail. But sometimes it may be, I meet a child; Or men have wept with me And men have smiled, 1 show a loving face, I hear a human tale; And for a moment’s space There flashes forth —the Grail! From “ The Grail,” by Arthur L. Salmon, 1870.
