Description
I have a beautiful castle,
With towers and battlements fair;
And many a banner, with gay device,
Floats in the outer air.
The walls are of solid silver;
The towers are of massive gold;
And the lights that stream from the windows
A royal scene unfold.
Ah! could you but enter my castle
With its pomp of regal sheen,
You would say that it far surpasses
The palace of Aladeen.
Could you but enter as I do,
And pace through the vaulted hall,
And mark the stately columns,
And the pictures on the wall;
With the costly gems about them,
That send their light afar,
With a chaste and softened splendor
Like the light of a distant star!
My Castle (excerpt)

Steve, Thanks for commenting & voting. It is really interesting. Discovered on the side of a winding road through the forest.
