Men clothed in dinted iron had ridden through this dark arch -
Harry Hotspur had caroused in the great hall beyond -
Fearless boys had poured out wine -
Bright flags had caught the fervent wind -
Now the towers were open to the sky -
The cavernous fireplaces were cold -
Visitors stood by shattered walls, clasping audio guides -
The Percy lion opened stony jaws -
Ancient sunlight fell upon the windswept grass -
