Clear Glass Bones and Snowflake Skin

Once there was a girl with hair very thin

She had clear glass bones and snowflake skin

She didn't go outside for fear of death

For Heaven would come with a single breath

She sat inside, pretty and neat

Her heart would never miss a beat

But she yearned for sweet wind's embrace

And to see a scarlet moon's face

One day she put on a flowing white dress

And fixed her siken hair's mess

Her skin would peel and her hair fall out

But she was ready, without a doubt

She went outside to face the world

Dress all night and white hair curled

Her skin burned when it met the sun

Her hair fell out one by one

Her bones cracked and her muscles tore

Her lovely face was no more

But she was content, and it was true

That she smiled wide, and laughed too

If you go to a field and don't think too loud

You can see her, a lovely cloud

So always remember the girl with hair very thin

With clear glass bones and snowflake skin.
