The Castle by the Sea.
" Oh, have you seen the castle, So high beside the sea, Where clouds all red and golden Go sailing silently ? " Yea, I have seen the castle, The castle strong and high, But mist was round about it, And the moon stood. in the sky. " Heard you not sweet sounds of miißic In the wind and heaving sea ? Came not from the Vaulted windows The sound of revelry ? " The winds were hushed to silence, Tke sea lay calm below, And out from the high-arched windows < • Came a dirge of grief and woe. 11 And on the throne so lofty, ' Where the rich crown jewels beam, Saw you'not the kingly parents, And the royal mantle gleam ? ' " And led they not in gladness A beautiful maiden there, > Badiani as the sunlight Gleaming.in golden h»ir ? " In robes of deepest mourning Without the jewels fair, I saw the royal parents, - • The , maiden Vas not there. \ — From the German of Uhlaivi, \
