CHÂTEAU D'ESPAGNE
Long ere that stony height you gain—
Better the safe and pleasant plain!
For, reach the summit, nothing's there
Save mocking sun and empty air
Or a tall cloud-tower in the heaven's span—
Small comfort that to an earthly man!
Castle-of-Spain is builded high
Up above us, beyond the sky. . . .
Easy we build you, hardly we gain,
Castle-of-Spain, Castle-of-Spain!
San Pablo, Andalusia.
