The Old Castle
The brother knew well the castle old, Every closet, each outlook fair, Every turret and bartizan bold, Every chamber, garnished or bare. The brother was out in the heavenly air; Little ones lost the starry way, Wandered down the dungeon stair. The brother missed them, and on the clay Of the dungeon-floor he found them all. Up they jumped when they heard him call! He led the little ones into the day-- Out and up to the sunshine gay, Up to the father's own door-sill-- In at the father's own room door, There to be merry and work and play, There to come and go at their will, Good boys and girls to be lost no more!
