The Meaning of Castle
The Meaning of Castle

Kenilworth Castle, a ruin yet still imposing,
a curtain wall encompassing, still complete,
chapel and residence, lodge and stables.
the lake, now drained but the walls frowning
on its former shores, just fields for grazing cows,
and in the centre, square, immense and dark,
the towering keep, one wall blasted by Cromwell’s
cannons but resolute, strong and lasting.
