To-day upon thy ruined walls <br />The flowers wave flags of truce, <br />For time has proved thy conqueror, <br />And tamed thy strength, Dunluce! <br /> <br />Marauders in their clanking mail <br />Ride from thy gates no more,— <br />Lords of the Skerries' cruel rocks, <br />Masters of sea and shore. <br /> <br />Thy dungeons are untenanted, <br />Thy captives are set free; <br />The daisy with sweet childish face <br />Keeps watch and ward o'er thee.<br /><br />Sarah Orne Jewett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dunluce-castle/
