Castle on the hill

Up – On the green hill,
Stands the king’s castle,
With tall rocky walls.

What was behind walls??
A Secret door – down hill…
As none could enter the castle;

Secrets of the king’s castle
Are now open with broken walls,
But still stand up on the hill…..

On the green hill, stands the king’s castle with broken walls….
