The Gray Brother Poem by Sir Walter Scott. Autoplay next video. The Pope he was saying the high, high mass,All on Saint Peter's day,With the power, to him given, by the saints of heaven,To wash men's sins away. The Pope he was saying the blessed mass,And the people kneel'd around,And from each man's soul his sins did pass,As he kiss'd the holy ground. And all, among the crowded throng,Was still, both limb and tongue,While, through vaulted roof and aisles aloof,The holy accents rung. At the holiest word he quiver'd for fear,And falter'd in the sound- And, when he would the chalice rear,He dropp'd it to the ground.'The breath of one of evil deed. Pollutes our sacred day; He has no portion in our creed,No part in what I say.'A being, whom no blessed word.
To ghostly peace can bring; A wretch, at whose approach abhorr'd,Recoils each holy thing.'Up, up, unhappy! James the divine,Or St. John of Beverley?'- 'I come not from the shrine of St James the divine,Nor bring reliques from over the sea; I bring but a curse from our father, the Pope,Which for ever will cling to me.'- 'Now, woful pilgrim, say not so! But kneel thee down to me,And shrive thee so clean of thy deadly sin,That absolved thou mayst be.'- 'And who art thou, thou Gray Brother,That I should shrive to thee,When He, to whom are given the keys of earth and heaven,Has no power to pardon me?'- 'O I am sent from a distant clime,Five thousand miles away,And all to absolve a foul, foul crime,Done here'twixt night and day. The pilgrim kneel'd him on the sand, And thus began his saye- When on his neck an ice- cold hand. Did that Gray Brother laye.
