Suggested by a poem of Theophile Gautier	A
	-
	-
In front he saw the donjon tall	B
Deep in the woods and stayed to scan	C
The guards that slept along the wall	B
Or dozed upon the bartizan	C
He marked the drowsy flag that hung	D
Unwaved by wind unfrayed by shower	A
He listened to the birds that sung	D
Go forth and win the haunted tower	A
The tangled brake made way for him	E
The twisted brambles bent aside	F
And lo he pierced the forest dim	E
And lo he won the fairy bride	F
For HE was young but ah we find	G
All we whose beards are flecked with grey	H
Our fairy castle's far behind	G
We watch it from the darkling way	H
'Twas ours that palace in our youth	I
We revelled there in happy cheer	J
Who scarce dare visit now in sooth	I
Le Vieux Chateau de Souvenir	J
For not the boughs of forest green	C
Begird that castle far away	H
There is a mist where we have been	C
That weeps about it cold and grey	H
And if we seek to travel back	K
'Tis through a thicket dim and sere	J
With many a grave beside the track	K
And many a haunting form of fear	J
Dead leaves are wet among the moss	L
With weed and thistle overgrown	C
A ruined barge within the fosse	M
A castle built of crumbling stone	C
The drawbridge drops from rusty chains	N
There comes no challenge from the hold	O
No squire nor dame nor knight remains	N
Of all who dwelt with us of old	O
And there is silence in the hall	B
No sound of songs no ray of fire	A
But gloom where all was glad and all	B
Is darkened with a vain desire	A
And every picture's fading fast	P
Of fair Jehanne or Cydalise	N
Lo the white shadows hurrying past	P
Below the boughs of dripping trees	N
	-
	-
	-
Ah rise and march and look not back	K
Now the long way has brought us here	Q
We may not turn and seek the track	K
To the old Chateau de Souvenir	J
