Heroes.I built a castle on the shore,And left to guard it three or fourLead soldiers of the bravest sort,And ordered them to hold the fortTill I should come once more.But when I came again next day,I found the sea had washed awayMy castle built upon the sand.Alas! the gallant little bandOf soldiers, where were they?Buried in sand, erect, and square,They held the fort with martial air;And when I’d said a little speech,I dug them out and made them eachA general then and there.
