The Waterfall Maiden Part 1

The pillowed swing is waiting for you The creaking of the chain just right The coolness of the porch sets the mood Now come snuggle in real tight For I’ll tell of a princess named Myla Who would hide neath the waterfall So no one could see her dancing In case she happened to fall She wanted to get her twirl down It had to be perfect because The entire kingdom would be watching And she could not show a flaw Her twirl was a thing of perfection Her head she tilted just right Her dark curls would swing with the movement Oh it gave her a squeal of delight One day as she sat dreaming She peered through the waterfall And the sight she saw before her Well it did totally enthrall A boy she’d never met Stooped to drink from the cool of the pond She spoke to him through the din of the fall So that he might not ride on Who is that, that is speaking Your voice where does it come from Please tell me that I might find you Or from the heat have I succumb Myla then realized her dilemma Her hiding place she would not share It was the only place she had to be alone So behind the falls she waited and stared This boy so handsome but gentle His eyes seemed to peer right through Myla longed to speak but she knew The problem that would ensue The days that followed she’d hide Neath the cool of the waterfall And Myla would practice her dancing Until the time she’d hear him call Part 1
