THE SLEEPING BEAUTY

 

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY

Fairytale spinning on a wheel

How are you reeling what you reel

How is it you turn the folktale straw to gold

The king does all he possibly can

To mend the christening gone off plan

Ransacks the town for all the spinning wheels.

But fate respins the Shadow steps in

And only one spindle loses the war.

Aurora on the border there

Aurora with her golden hair

Left to her own devices

Was taken unaware

I mourn the king

Who did all in his power

To spare her from the evil hour

100 years and then

She rose again.

And the cruel thorns flowered.
