the castle of the King

On the shores of light at the edge of night- the poet weeps for his lost love

The old marble statues stand white- in the garden bright

 

The buttercups are in dew- trimmed with hedges of yew

She has left him- amongst the bright flowers

 

Through the flowing of his tears- and the sweet music of the spheres

He can hear the angel’s sing- she has gone beyond the portal

 

To the castle of the King

 

With his face buried in the long uncut grass- the poet wept

And the sun of the coming day- was shone on his solitude
