Young fairy princess
barely can fly
sings to the birds
who gather close by
Delighted, she timbres
trills, and warbles
the birds stop eating
closed beaks and bills
Nestlings starve
their parents entranced
young princess learns
price of her gift to enchant
Power and responsibility
like harmony to melody
from happiness a sorrow
now limits her singing spree
