A CASTLE IN THE AIR.

NfOr Ine MlrrOr
A CASTLE IN THE AIR.
As sat at rest the other day, to drive away dull
care,
set to work to build myself a castle in the air;
And of wherewith to build it there was no lack, 1
ween.
OF past memories and future hopes with fancies
wove between
Boyish hopes unrealized, youthful visions fed;
Faces and voices of dear ones now numbered with
the dead;
Hours of love and pleasure when Times flight
n'er missed:
Eyes that looked love in my eyes and lips that my
lips kissed
Vain but fond disadvantages of my life
Hope to be yet winner in hopeless. losing strife;
To gain once more loving heart that I've forever
lost,
To hoist white sails a mastless wreck on life's
wild ocean toss'd:-
All these put together. and 10! structure fair
AS Peris shining dweing-a castle in the air.
In Hopes bright rosiest color shone all its turrets
high,
And its crystal dazzling pinnacles pierced deep in
the azure sky.
Dear faces looked from its windows sweet voices
rang through its halls.
And all loved or hoped for were within its gleam-
ing walls.
gazed on it with my SOULS eyes and never scene
more fair
Arose before their vision that castle in the air.
But memories fade and bright hopes die and fam
cies will not stay,
SO like a rainbow fading my castle died away.
But it left within my sorrowing heart ray Of
hope behind
That Fourtune, long so cruel to me- might even
yet prove kind,
And give to me future home which, if not quite
so fair
Might be happy and more solid than castle in
the air. c. II. ONEIL.
