Show My Castle of Fancy. I have n castle of fanc.v, throneed with a thousand gueti; Knights and lords and Udles, In velvets and satins cl reused Roldltrs nrmorod and sturdy, and fresh from war's alarms Guarding my castle's portals are stalwart stal-wart meit-ut-nrnis Mountebinks, prelate. Hud beggars a va-rled va-rled Slid motley train Winds tin ough my castle of fancy In some mistical, fur-off Spain. There are pennants on tower and turret, tur-ret, forth from Ihe casements flung Are banners of royal splendor villi golden gold-en broideries nun Ther are music mid dance and laughter: the trumpet's silvery blare, Wassail and msi-r making as tankards are tossed In air O! I live it nil with the people, who dwell In my demesnes, I walk outline with the mighty and I sup with kings nud queens. When my heart growa sick and wsary, oppressed by this humdrum world, I board my fleetest shallop. Its wings of thouu-ht unfurled. And soon, through clouds of musing. shadowy, vugue and dim, Looms up my mystical castle on the far h orl ion's rim. Then flung to the winds are lls bin- j ir"' lh trumpet's blast Is blown. And the galea am swung wide open when I coma again to my own. -Kdltli Sessions Tuppar In Nsw York Herald HQUHIHHilHHriHHilHAJBHiliHH |
