Castled Girl
Poor child in the castle
Poor child flying high
she is cloistered and sheltered
and hidden in walls
Poor child in the castle
Poor child behind doors
she cannot but dream of wandering
in fits of sleep she runs
Poor child in the castle
Poor child wrapped in cloth
she drags a train of finest silk
it weighs her down like chains
Poor child in the castle
Poor child is laid down
she sits inside a prisoner
peaking out of wooden bars
guarded tight by men who won’t
let her taste what freedom is.
