I'd build an air castle for thee, love, and me, Where no one would question, where no one would see: Mayhap on a mountain, if only with thee, Where best suits thy fancy that castle shall be. A castle in Spain, on the land or at sea, With thee, love, a desert would blossom for me; A castle in Dreamland where we would be free To live and to love, dear—forever with thee. "If wishes were horses then beggars might ride," A Lord and a Lady, with thee by my side; From out of the past, dear, thy Knight I would be, I'd fight for, I'd live for, I'd die, love, for thee. I never would tire, dear, thy true love I'd be, So faithful, so gentle, that thou wouldst love me; Life here would be Heaven to live it with thee, This world would but usher Love's eternity. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO HIS SON, VINCENT CORBET, ON HIS THIRD BIRTHDAY by RICHARD CORBET MOTLEY by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE DREAM SONG: 2 by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR UPON HIS SPANIEL [SPANIELL] TRACIE by ROBERT HERRICK |
