Nettie's Poems

Excerpt from Nettie's Poems: And a Farce, Old Fogy and Young America Poems. Castles In The Air. Oh, 't is bliss and joy to know We poor mortals here below Can leave below all want and care, To dwell in castles in the air. Oh, what rapture doth it bring - We're so happy we can sing; Oh, there's naught on earth so fair As our castles in the air. There's not an emperor, prince, or king An army strong enough can bring, To subjugate our castles fair - Our bright castles in the air. Don't tell us we are beggars here; We will flourish, never fear. Don't talk to us of want or care, While we've castles in the air.
