Our Campus these were Old Da s oj Chivalry. All guarded by moat and seneschal White maids in silver and cramoisie Would Weave of their days in tapestrie. To glamour the grey of tower and hall. If these were Old Days of Chivalry, Slim (nights Would ride by the castle Wall Plumed, spurred and armoured silverly. Prancing white steeds, for the maids to see. Flaunting red flames on their banners tall. But . . these are New Days of Chivalry; We wander at will, unbarred by wall On green hills, pillared slenderly. Through warm aisles, or flecked sunnily Or lit with stars for cressets small. Dorothy Gold, ' 29.
