The Princess and Her Creatures
The Princess and Her Creatures There once was a princess, young and fair,
who dreamed of creatures to be found nowhere
some of them soaring high in day's light
others creeping 'round in the dark night She dreamed of them all in a great tower tall
there trapped for years by a fiend above all
who not understanding had judged her mad
her father, the king; it made her quite sad Until one night, while she stood looking out
sobbing sad sobs, heart drenched wet with doubt
