Generate meaning
1
there lived a princess of the woods
2
she thought she lived alone
3
she walked with fair skin
4
on her head wine red hair did flow
5
& the birds were flying
6
& bells were ringing in the distant sky
7
the owl said:
8
you know its time to die
9
so why not you & i
10
she sat at tables made of glass
11
& drank from a silver spoon
12
the absinthe carved its secret path
13
as it burned, a flower bloomed
14
the autumn came
15
she sought for her sleep
16
& gazed up to the sky
17
an elf did sing:
18
if you climb this highest tree
19
I'll sing you a lullaby
20
& so she climbs
21
each moss step with moonlit rose
22
& blackberry stems
23
to a bed of stars
24
where she lays her body down
25
only with him
26
& the silver sea
27
where I saw swans with deep set wings
28
staring at me
29
& the owl said:
30
you know it's time to die
31
so why not you & i
32
there lived a princess of the woods
33
she thought she lived alone
34
she found her life inside a song
35
& so she made it home
