I listen in dreams… The refreshing breath of your voice Flowing, like a river softly running through the orchard, Soothing the pain from the wounds of yesterday,                   Maiden of the sweet voice.

In a lovely little wood, where the leaves were sprinkled with gold and glittered with diamonds, the beautiful princesses danced on till their satin slippers were worn into pieces. When the music stopped, a delicious supper was served consisting of sugared flowers, crystallised rose leaves, and powdered violets, which are, as everyone knows, the favourite food of princesses.
