I fashioned this high tower -
Safety for my heart.
With some misgiving,
I left one wall incomplete -
Lonely window eye.
Leaf-dotted sunlight,
Birdsong, flower-scented breeze,
Alluring, outside.
Distant voice calling,
"Rapunzel, let down your hair!"
Shall I bear your weight?
If you long for me,
Handsome Prince, gazing upward -
Go find a ladder.
