Wars of great kings and clash of armouries 
Whose swords no man could tell, whose spears 
Were numerous as wheat field's ears 
Rolled over all the great lands, and seas 

Were loud with navies, their devouring fires 
Behind the armies burned both fields and towns 
And sacked and crumbled or to flaming pyres 
Were cities made, where treasuries and crowns 

Kings and their folk, their wives and tender maids 
Were all consumed. Now silent are those courts 
Ruined the towers, whose old shape slowly fades 
And no feet pass beneath their broken ports 

I need no call of clamant bell that rings 
Iron tongued in the towers of earthly kings 
Take a ride on, ride on, 
On your rotting horse 

On that deadly ground 
Take a ride, ride on, 
On your rotting horse 
With a pounding sound. 

Here on the stones and trees there lies a spell 
Of unforgotten loss, of memories more blest 
Than mortal wealth. 
Here undefeated dwell the fog immortal 

Under withered elmes, 
Alalminore one in ancient realms
