'IN MY DREAMS I SEE A CASTLE'
In my dreams I see a castle standing by the Northern seas,
Where the long Atlantic rollers lash the rugged Orcades,
And a stately lady walking up and down beneath the trees.
Why does the lady wander there, in robes of white array'd?
Why does she carry in her hand a sharp and shining blade,
While her features work with agony, her eyes with fear dismay'd?
She slowly passes through the grove of wind-swept melody,
Till she stands beside the ocean, and then, full suddenly,
She cuts her heart from out her breast, and casts it in the sea.
