Castle Haunting

Castle Haunting



The echoes of the horses hooves,

Upon the ruined grove.

The river stills in the summer air,

Hills around its cove.



The yellow grass was green before,

Not drenched in rotten blood.

The castle walls were tall and grand,

Before the day was done.



Now stones are scattered all 'round the scene,

Where the bloody battle died,

Where the flight for safety started,

Where the wounded still cried.



Passersby in the darkened cove,

Say only what is true.

The ruins of the Castle Haunting

Make the sunshine blue.



The Castle Haunting still remains

In the cover of the hills.

The ghosts of the dead will haunt e'er longer

Until the river never stills.
