Explore "Uranienborg" by Thomas James Wise on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Thou who the strand dost wander, / Thy steps, O traveller, stay! / Turn to the island yonder, / And listen to my lay. / Thy every meditation / Bid hither, hither stray: / On yonder banks its station / Had once a Castelaye.
In long past days in glory / It stood, and grandeur sheen / Now 'twas so transitory / Its ruins scarce are seen. / But in old days I warrant / Its equal was not found; / From every side apparent / High tower'd it from the ground.
