Castle Builder Castle Poem

THE CASTLE-BUILDER
A gentle boy, with
soft and silken locks
A dreamy boy, with brown and tender eyes,
A castle-builder, with his wooden blocks,
And towers that touch imaginary skies.
A fearless rider on
his father's knee,
An eager listener unto stories told
At the Round Table of the nursery,
Of heroes and adventures manifold.
There will be other
towers for thee to build;
There will be other steeds for thee to ride;
There will be other legends, and all filled
With greater marvels and more glorified.
Build on, and make
thy castles high and fair,
Rising and reaching upward to the skies;
Listen to voices in the upper air,
Nor lose thy simple faith in mysteries.
Castle poem by Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow

Castle Poem |

OH, SAND CASTLE
DAYS...
Sweet memories enhance
The backwards glance
Long into childhood's
way,
Hours by the
sea
Timeless, carefree
Where the sun
brightly shone
Every day,
Looking out o'er the waves
Soft, memory saves
A joy that forever
stays
Held deep in
that part
Of one's innermost
heart..
Of so happy,
dear
sand-castle days!
Castle poem by John McLeod
IN THE LIGHT OF THESE CASTLE HALLS
Years ago, my heart was drawn,
By dancing feet and happy song,
Many an hour, I played along,
In the light of these castle halls.
Twas here I learned to play my harp,
The songs to flow right from the heart,
Twas here my journey, it would start,
In the light of these castle halls.
For fame & glory I did seek,
Away to the Fair on fleeting feet,
For my destiny I was sure to meet, from
The light of these castle halls.
For my journey, it was long,
Silver and gold, I received for song,
Yet for my friends, I did long,
In the light of these castle halls.
And so, now I come,
With happy heart and happy song,
Again, I'm here where I belong,
In the light of these castle halls.

Castle In the Air |

CASTLES IN THE AIR
My thoughts by night are often filled
With visions false as fair:
For in the past alone I build
My castles in the air.
I dwell not now on what may be:
Night shadows o'er the scene:
But still my fancy wanders free
Through that which might have been.

THE CASTLE RUINS
A HAPPY day at Whitsuntide,
As soon s the zun begun to vall,
We all strolld up the steep hill-zide
To Meldon, gret an small;
Out where the Castle wall stood high
A-mwoldren to the zunny sky.
An there wi
Jenny took a stroll
Her youngest sister, Poll, so gay,
Bezide John Hind, ah! merry soul,
An mid her wedlock fay;
An at our zides did play an run
My little maid an smaller son.
Above the baten mwold
upsprung
The driven doust, a-spreaden light,
An on the new-leavd thorn, a-hung,
Wer wool a-quivren white;
An corn, a-sheenen bright, did bow,
On slopen Meldons zunny brow.
There, down the roofless
wall did glow
The zun upon the grassy vloor,
An weakly-wandren winds did blow,
Unhinderd by a door;
An smokeless now avore the zun
Did stan the ivy-girded tun.
My bwoy did watch
the daws bright wings
A-flappen vrom their ivy bowrs;
My wife did watch my maids light springs,
Out here an there vor flowrs;
And John did zee noo towrs, the place
Vor him had only Pollys face.
An there, of
all that pried about
The walls, I overlookd em best,
An what o that? Why, I made out
Noo mwore than all the rest:
That there wer woonce the nest of zome
That wer a-gone avore we come.
When woonce above
the tun the smoke
Did wreathy blue among the trees,
An down below, the liven vok
Did tweil as brisk as bees:
Or zit wi weary knees, the while
The sky wer lightless to their tweil
