John DeChancie Castle Dreams

To my mother, Mrs. Gene DeChancie

Oh, tell me not in mournful numbers,

“Life is but an empty dream;

For the soul is dead that slumbers,

And things are not what they seem!”

Life is real! Life is earnest!

And the grave is not its goal:

“Dust thou art, to dust returnest,”

Was not spoken of the soul.

— Longfellow
