Notes About The Poem

 

Can you guess who wrote the verse in quotes?

 

Castle Dreams

 Castle Dreams 


"O'er thee, like thine own sea birds 
       I'll circle without rest
     For me earth holds no corner 
       To build a lasting nest."

She of long ago, alone
      as I
    she, buried in my heart
             as waves lapped
a word or two of mine
    sea birds dropped upon
 her lonely thoughts
   thus entwined

A nice bit of nostalgic romanticism.

I do not know the picture or who wrote the first part that is in quotes. It reminds me a bit of Poe talking to Annabell Lee or something!! You did the second part? very nice,Arthur.
