Grail Quest



















I was thinking and reflecting on the quest to seek the Holy Grail, and I used the structure of a well known hymn but reworked it to make it about the grail quest, and the three knights and Dindraine and also King Arthur's grief (Lancelot Cycle) the King weeping (Mallory) as  Sir Galahad, Sir Perceval and Sir Bors de Ganis left on the quest.


Grail Quest

Blest are the pure in heart,
for they shall see the grail
the secret of the Lord is theirs,
their quest did never fail

They searched upon a quest
that cup of peace to bring
and went from East to West
despite their weeping King

A guide called Dindraine came
and ship she did impart,
as for their quest to find the grail
they were the pure in heart.

Grail, we seek your shining light
may ours this blessing be
that we be made so pure of heart
that we may one day see
 





Sir Galahad, Sir Perceval (or Percivale), and Sir Bors de Ganis.
