We built our castles down by the wave, My Httle brother and 1; In their topmost towers the Hags shone brave As the sun went down the sky; Sand Castles! Grand Castles! Flags that rippled gay! A wave passed by in the middle oi the night And washed you all away. I We built our castles up in the air, Aly dearest Iriend and I ; Gleaming proud they lifted there walls on high; Air castles! Fair Castles! Bubbles floating gay! A wind passed by m the middle of the • night And blew you ... I We built our castles in ''wonderful | Spam. Aly heart’s own love and I, * Ramparts wide on ever\- side, l lurrents that touched the sky; ()h Castles m Spain! you rose m vain; vain; I My heart in the dust I lay . { For ONE passed by in the middle of the night i And swept you all away. —E.
