I choose to dream; there cometh on me some strange lust for deeds. As to the nerveful hand of an exeberant warrior. The shiny sword or the neatly polished war helmet , Brings momentary life and long-fled cunning,
So to my soul young and free- Grow he old with many a jousting, many a foray, Grow he old with many a hither-coming and hence going-
Until they send him dreams and no more deeds; So doth he flame again with might for action, Forgetful of the council of elders , Forgetful that who ruleth do no more battle, forgetful that such might no more cleaves to him So doth he flame again towards valiant doing.
