SONNET.

There is a castle of most royal state,

Wherein no warder watches from the walls,

Nor groom nor squire abides in court or halls:

Silent are they, grass-grown and desolate.

A thousand steeds a thousand knights await,

Sleeping, all harnessed, in the marble halls

Until the Appointed One upon them calls,

Winding the horn that hangs beside the gate.
