From a distance
you can see its pomp and majesty.
Not a palace in the world is like it.
Its towers are high and lofty, its halls are
bright and warm. Love and hope
lurks around every corner. Now,
however, the Lord must
leave. So now a sudden
change has come upon
the castle, It seems sad
and mournful. The towers
are lonely, the halls are dark,
empty. Despair and grief loom
around its yard. Others try to come
in but are turned away With no effect
on it but to make it sadder. But, hark, after an
eternity of hopelessness he has returned. Once again
it becomes a place of joy. And the fires seem to burn
brighter, the laughter lingers longer. As love lights the
palace again and one room in particular.
