Key and bar, key and bar, <br />Iron bolt and chain! <br />And what will you do when the King comes <br />To enter his domain? <br /> <br />Turn key and lift bar, <br />Loose, oh, bolt and chain! <br />Open the door and let him in, <br />And then lock up again. <br /> <br />But, oh, heart, and woe, heart, <br />Why do you ache so sore? <br />Never a moment's peace have you <br />Since Love hath passed the door. <br /> <br />Turn key and lift bar, <br />And loose bolt and chain; <br />But Love took in his esquire, Grief, <br />And there they both remain.<br /><br />Paul Laurence Dunbar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-s-castle/
