Robert Silliman Hillyer - "Who follows Love shall walk in outland places" lyrics

Who follows Love shall walk in outland places, Beyond the common cheer of hall and town, He shall forget all things, the friendly faces, The strife for wealth, the struggle for renown. A young crusader putting by his crown, A pilgrim following a holy vision, Heeding nor threat of king nor gibe of clown, The tyrant's hatred nor the world's derision,-- Thus shall he wander; in no bright Elysian Meadows shall be his quest, but through the vast And midnight fears that shake his heart's decision With staring madness, till he see at last Like Parsifal in ages long ago, Love's flaming chalice out of darkness glow.
