Kaleidoscope

On a sober sunday street, I walked, looking at the empty and beautiful buildings, wondering why thy were empty. I reached my home and as the computer hooked on to the internet, my mind was hooked on to some reading and I chose the magnificent Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Here is one of his work "Castle Builder"

A gentle boy, with soft and silken locks,
A dreamy boy, with brown and tender eyes,
A castle-builder, with his wooden blocks,
And towers that touch imaginary skies.

A fearless rider on his father's knee,
An eager listener unto stories told
At the Round Table of the nursery,
Of heroes and adventures manifold.

There will be other towers for thee to build;
There will be other steeds for thee to ride;
There will be other legends, and all filled
With greater marvels and more glorified.

Build on, and make thy castles high and fair,
Rising and reaching upward to the skies;
Listening to voices in the upper air,
Nor lose thy simple faith in mysteries.

Tribute to Longfellow for the work.
