CASTLES IN THE AIR.
How oft in our lives have we builded
“Castles in air.”
They were fashioned in beauty and gilded,
Made costly and rare.
We thought they were firm and secure,
These castles of ours,
And that they would surely endure,
Through life’s passing hours.
But alas! they have crumbled away;
These castles of ours;
Faded out like a bright summer day;
Like the beautiful flowers.
Ah! well! there are mansions above,
More firm and secure;
That were builded by Infinite Love,
And will ever endure.
