Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - The Castle-Builder. (Birds Of Passage. Flight The Third)Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - The Castle-Builder. (Birds Of Passage. Flight The Third)
Work rating: Medium


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.
