MY CASTLE, by                    
First Line: Last night I stood in the castle hall
Last Line: My cot in the garret was flooded with sun.
Subject(s): Courts & Courtiers


Last night I stood in the castle hall,
Where the candles cast their eerie light,
And saw the kings
And their ladies, fair
Cast their shadows into the passing night.
I closed my eyes, as in a dream,
Saw a young knight kneel to his queen;
She raised her eyes all starry and blue
That spoke untold messages
Kissed by love's dew.

The scene was changed,
The time was right,
The candles flickered, their work was done;
My cot in the garret was flooded with sun.
