A Queen of Mermaids

Faces turn pale because of the moonlight.   

My cheeks and lips are too hot.

I am a Queen of mermaids, this night of May!

I dance and collect

the stars from the sky  for my crown.

Come to me!

I shall give a piece of happiness

To all who are lonely.

But you must be cautious  –

I am a mermaid! 

I shall bewitch you!
