Gaston de Blondeville, or The court of Henry III | ||
II.
Changed was the solemn scene below,Where monks with stillness, to and fro,
Had borne the dead to place of rest,
Or shrived the spirit, while possest
318
Of frail home of mortality.
Now from the aisles the crowd was gone:
By the death-torch, the Watch-monk lone
Stood dimly o'er the blood-stained bier,
Seeming some shadowy shape of Fear!
While that torch strange, a grisly hue
O'er the dead warrior's visage threw.
Now heavy-falling steps around
No more disturbed the distant ground;
The bearers from their toil reposed;
The cloister's distant door was closed;
From chantry-tomb and chapel nigh
Was sunk the soothing minstrelsy:
All in the aisle was hushed in death,
When Clement ventured from beneath.
