-------------------------------
Fairest of them all -
Skin as snow and ruby lips
Ebony tresses
Magical mirror
Cruelly crushes my heart
She is more than I
Feeble, the huntsman
Mesmerized by loveliness
Allowed her escape
Seven dwarved miners
Selfishly offered shelter -
Captive housekeeper
So willing to trust,
Resplendent and greedy:
Delicious apple
Glass coffin for her;
Weeping, weeping, tiny men
I reign, we are safe
Shallow, half-wit prince
Carries off her still body
Nature's work of art
Dislodged, the poison -
My rejoicing, premature:
She has awakened
She will be crowned queen
Enraptured celebration
Foolish commoners
None but I can see
Only skin deep, her beauty.
She cares not at all
She will trample us
Under her small dainty heel
And leave us to die
Abandoned, bereft
Not a soul will realize
She loves just herself.
