And grizzled time roams round about it, Like hours' tramp, like a minute sped... And the long centuries uncounted Have made of the grey stones a bed.

The years built, without work nor effort, A nest of legends, tales of yore... And now, today, these men in heavy Boots tramp the drawbridge-plank once more.

They've swathed the tower with forms mysterious; None will untie the ends once more, Not mighty Scandinavian heroes, Nor merchants from the Golden Horn.

And to the tower wires now can anchor Distance so fast the mind must reel... Foresires, could you but understand the Truth of antennae of chilled steel.
