Snow

A story

A secret told and thus unleashed

A terrible vengeance now awoken

The mother by marriage only wished her ill

As jealousy and hate grew

The fairest maid almost lost her life.

 

She met her love in the forest,

became friends with the seven men.

All would come to mourn their fate,

the day the crone came

and with an apple a curse was laid.

 

They put her in a coffin of glass

almost too soon, she was lost.

Her love came, always to find her.

His heart breaking he kissed her farewell

She woke, to the broken curse.

 

The shadows came, full of malice.

As good thought they had triumphed,

not knowing what was coming,

they celebrated, not seeing the danger,

till the Queen arrived and took all happiness.

Marvelous tale indeed, and I presume a retelling of Snow White? Nonetheless, I found this quite appealing.
