I'll tell you of a princess
A lovely said princess
Who lived in the depths
Of a cool mountain pool
Her crown it shone bright
As the frost in the moonlight
Her heart it was sad
As she sat on her stool
For all she ever saw there
Were lords by score there
So proud and so perfect
But each one a fool
They said, "You must choose me
It's useless to refuse me
You know you must marry
'Cause that is the rule"
Then the princess replied
That at last she'd decided
She smiled very sweetly
And gave a deep sigh
Then she cried, "I will marry
The one who will carry
My small silver crown to me
Back from the sky"
Then upwards she sped
Took the crown from her pretty head
And threw it as high
As she could in the sky
Oh, the water lords took magic
And they flew up in the skies
Their cloaks turned to wings
And they grew enormous eyes
Here they fluttered, here they scattered
Here they hovered hot and bothered
And you and I would call them dragonflies
If you sit beside a pool
When a summer evening's cool
See their shining bodies gleam
As they flit above the stream
They would cause you no surprise
We would call them dragonflies
Yes, you and I would call them dragonflies
