My golden castle, reared-on yesterday, (. 1 NE morn as brightly smiled the rising sun The moulten moon a silvery moat supplied With radiant promise of a golden day, And kept all troubling thoughts of sense away, As Zephyrus his vagrancies begun As, safe within, the revellers defied And birds were fluttering tremulously gay The battering-ram of practicality A castle builder wandered off alone, Manned by the ghouls of doubt and mockery. With projects that he wished to think upon. But Dreamer was the warden and his keep A noble face had he and dreamy eyes, Grew irksome as the drowsy God stole nigh, His thoughts were wandering, he knew not where, And soon he wavered in luxurious sleep, He sees the fleecy ships sail o'er the skies, Then stepped aboard a sailer of the sky, And spirit-forms float vaguely in the air, Leaving the revel and the merriment, Sirens of imagery to softly smile, And to the realms of Somnus straight he went. And (very vagrancy that could beguile. Misgiving then, the strategist of sense Stole to the moat and swain the sluggish stream If winds were whispering he caught the tone And looking upwards there he half relents Of every bree ,,y mystery of air, His fell design upon the gothic dream, And tuned them to a minor of his own, But up he clambers to the towering walls; humming his symphonies without a care, His work is done, for down the drawbridge falls. In melodies of vague variety Which turned to discord of satiety. Then headlong drives the howling horde of sense, Led by a smooth beguiler, fair Deceit, If dew drops sparkled they must d iamonds be And next the vassals of experience Strewn by the lavish jeweler on high, Rush on to make the victory complete, And 'twas impossible for him to see When, with a crash, the massive doors divide A valley's vapors lifting to the sky And onward flows the devastating tide. Unless 'twere•spirits bearing off the veil Now uncouth feet tramp o'er the polished floors To deck their airy fleet with filmy sail. And up the staircase tear in maddened glee, If he, perchance, pursued some troubling thought Shivering with blows the jewel studded doors, 'Twas 11ut the accident of inclination, And laughing at the ruin mirthlessly Too long had fancy's easy sirens wrought, Until they reach the hall, and quaking there Too long had dreaming been his occupation, They see the trembling revelers of air. A spirit sleeping on from clay to day Onward they rush, the fancies turn to fly, \\Tasting its usefulness in dreams away. But rage relentless follows at their heels, He reached a grove, where, rippling in its flow, When, hark ! That yell : The waking warden's cry, A thread of silver sparkled on its way, The castle's falling !" Now it wavers—reels- With sylvan secrets bubbling from below, Then crash—the bubble bursts. The dream has flown Wandering to depths beyond the light of day, And my aerial structure too was gone. He followed on until beneath an oak He sat himself and thus the silence broke : A zephyr softly touched his curling hair There is glamor in the distance, And whispered vaguely in the dreamer's ear Mazy mountains, dimly seen, Of forms impossible and passing fair, As some vaporous resistance Of bliss intangible, and mystery drear, Hung its curtain o'er the green. And nervous waters gurgling at his feet Rippled in laughter musically sweet. I,ike the sunlight on the mountain 'Twas nature's music. But e'er long his own, And the mists that intervene, With all about he had such sympathy, Like the sprinkling, sparkling fountain As here and there he caught a And its filmy, shimmering sheen rippling tone And wove it in a thread of melody, Are the fancies now beguiling Till breaking forth he filled the silent glade Softest languor in my brain, With measures of an . evening's serenade : 84 THE CAMPUS.

Oh, come to the glade, the evening grows dim, And now, so long as I shall feel the woes that others feel, And the star-light breaks forth in the sky, So long as sympathy and love increase another's weal, The night is alive with its tremulous hymn Whilst yet I feel within me strength to do what good I can, And the zephyrs steal silently by. Oh, help me be, forevermore, a Christian gentleman, And let me feel another's woe, nor let me feel in vain, I know of a place where the heart is as free And let thy words sink in their hearts to ease and soothe Cieir As down on the breezes of Spring, pain.
