My castle was an evergreen
at the corner of our house
a pine with a special branch
all my own
The branch was my turret
from which I could behold
all the realm of fairy lawn
wonder's home
Each dewdrop on the grass a sprite
each dandelion a school
for children quite as small as seeds
to learn each sunbeam's hue
I would descend the staircase
of needley spiral boughs
to sit on scented carpet
and read to princes two
at the corner of our house
a pine with a special branch
all my own
The branch was my turret
from which I could behold
all the realm of fairy lawn
wonder's home
Each dewdrop on the grass a sprite
each dandelion a school
for children quite as small as seeds
to learn each sunbeam's hue
I would descend the staircase
of needley spiral boughs
to sit on scented carpet
and read to princes two
