There once was
a little girl
Her hair shimmered
essence of pearl
Forced to live
in the forest
By a troll
as imprisoned guest
Upon his house
stumbled one day
When he then
hid her away
And kept her
as his treasure
For her beauty
gave him pleasure
In his world
of such ugliness
She added it
a ray of brightness
Her only friends
a few dove
And how them
she did love
Each and every
night she pray
God sent them
to carry her away
Under the troll’s
ever watchful eye
No way escape
she’d even try
But never gave
up her hope
The only way
that she cope
One day soon
her rescuers come
Taken out from
under his thumb
Then true happiness
she would find
Instead of only
freedom of mind!
