Poem

Instructions


The castle looms large and drear.
And the land as a whole is breathing despair.
The people are sick, the crops are dying
Where is the king? Where is he lying?

 

The castle walls. i pressed my forehead against the window.


The castle walls. i’ve never seen a castle.


In the castle, he snatched a hare.


The castle looms large and drear.


And i, the gate of this fortified castle.


None of the above



In that far land beyond the sea. o thou that dost appear.


The sand of the dream is keeping time, trembling, clear.


And the sand where no one treads is whiter than snow.


In the land of never, never i'll be able to hear.


And the land as a whole is breathing despair.


None of the above



The kingdom of the dead, which i retell.


To this kingdom i’ve come to bring you.


I will take my kingdom to the lions.


To be the king of this world.


I've come to offer you my kingdom.


None of the above



And i, a serf of the king.


The king of hearts, the lord of all hearts.


The king of hearts, the lord of hosts, is dead.


The king of hearts, the lord of all weathers.


The king sat at the table calm.


None of the above



The people of America are fed up,


The kings of old are crying,


I don't know what I'm feeling, but I know I feel a lot.


The people of the land are all frightened,


And the stifling heat reaches to the sky


None of the above



And the king, who at that time was lying.


The king of diamonds: unhappy in lying.


Where is my king? — where is he lying.


The king, in his state apartment lying.


The king was lying down.


None of the above
