Remembering

Castles remember
And
Tell tales

Listen!
The musketeer firing
   Screaming out
As
He falls

Listen!
The cannon booming
   Falling silent
As
Men die

Listen!
The chivalrous shouting
   Battle cries
As
They charge

Listen!
Tourists' babble
   Growing loud
As
Memories fade

Castles remember
And
Tell tales.
