Does any one know the title to this Lord Byron poem?

Question

"At the end of all the ages,

a Knight sat on his steed;

his armor red and thin with rust,

his soul from sorrow freed.

He lifted up a visor,

from a face of skin and bone;

and his horse turned head and whinnied,

as the twain stood there, alone.

No bird above that steep of time,

sang of a life-long quest;

no wind breathed,

Rest.

"Lone for an end!" cried knight to steed,

loosed an eager rein;

charged with his challenge into space,

and quiet did quiet remain."

~ Lord Byron ~

Also, if this is only an excerpt from the poem, could you tell me the rest or where to find it? Thanks.

Answer 1

I don't believe the poem is by Lord Byron. And I think you have the complete poem. Try de la Mare

The Song of Finis

Walter de la Mare

1873 - 1956

AT the edge of All the Ages

A Knight sate on his steed,

His armor red and thin with rust

His soul from sorrow freed;

And he lifted up his visor

From a face of skin and bone,

And his horse turned head and whinnied

As the twain stood there alone.

No bird above that steep of time

Sang of a livelong quest;

No wind breathed,

Rest:

"Lone for an end!" cried Knight to steed,

Loosed an eager rein--

Charged with his challenge into space:

And quiet did quiet remain.
