A Princess Shee

As fair as Mee:

They were dancing toe to toe!

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.

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!

Now squeaking high, now purring low,

now sawing in the middle.

that is mighty fond of jokes;

When there’s good cheer among the guests,
