The "inaccessible tower of the past" is a metaphorical expression which means the past (time gone by) is like a place (tower) that cannot be reached (inaccessible).
From the past (out of the tower), longing (yearning) leans and beckons (calls to us with a gesture as if from a window).
So, we can't reach the past but we want to, it calls to us.
