caprice - princess mee lyrics
little princess mee
lovely was she
as in elven-song is told:
she had pearls in hair
all threaded fair;
of gossamer shot with gold
was her kerchief made,
and a silver braid
of stars above her throat.
of moth-web light
all moonlit-white
she wore a woven coat,
and round her kirtle
was bound a girdle
sewn with diamond dew.
she walked by day
under mantle grey
and hood of clouded blue;
but she went by night
all glittering bright
under the starlit sky,
and her slippers frail
of fishes’ mail
flashed as she went by
to her dancing-pool,
and on mirror cool
of windless water played.
as a mist of light
in whirling flight
a glint like gl-ss she made
wherever her feet
of silver fleet
flicked the dancing-floor.
shee was as light
as mee, and as bright;
but shee was, strange to tell,
hanging down
with starry crown
into a bottomless well!
her gleaming eyes
in great surprise
looked upon to the eyes of mee:
a marvellous thing,
head-down to swing
above a starry sea!
only their feet
could ever meet;
for where the ways might lie
to find a land
where they do not stand
but hang down in the sky
no one could tell
nor learn in spell
in all the elven-lore.
so still on her own
an elf alone
dancing as before
with pearls in hair
and kirtle fair
and slippers frail
of fishes’ mail went mee:
of fishes’ mail
and slippers frail
and kirtle fair
with pearls in hair went shee!
