The fairest princess

Through the forest

Of leaves so green

A maiden walks

Dress of silver sheen

Her beauty of legends

With eyes like stars

Hair like the softest snow

And hands with long cold scars

All is fair and perfect

Of her bodily looks

Save what she, loves the most

Her long cold scars like those written in books

Long pale and jagged

The scars on her hands

She wears them with pride

They were cuts from her bands

A slave once

So long ago

A princess now

With a free life to forgo
