The Little Mermaid
Stave 4
Early every morning
And in twilight shadows,
The little mermaid
Rose up to the shallows
Where she left the prince.
The seasons turned:
Snow melted on the mountains,
Sunshine bounced merrily
Amongst the crystal fountains.
The little mermaid’s sisters
Recognised her heartbreak
And took her to a castle,
Built of pale and yellow stone,
With staircases of marble
And magnificent golden domes.
The mermaid waited every night
Beneath the prince’s balcony,
Alone in the moonlight,
Her heart full of longing
To be a human.
