High in a tower
Like yours was, but higher
A beauty asleep
All 'round the tower
A thicket of briar
A hundred feet deep

Agony
No frustration more keen
When the one thing you want
Is a thing that you've not even seen

I found a casket
Entirely of glass
No, it's unbreakable
Inside, don't ask it
A maiden, alas
Just as unwakeable

What unmistakable agony
Is the way always barred?

She has skin white as snow-
Did you learn her name?
No
There's a dwarf standing guard

Agony
Such that princes must weep
Always in thrall most
To anything almost
Or something asleep

If it were not for the thicket
A thicket's no trick
Is it thick?
It's the thickest
The quickest is pick it apart with a stick
Yes, but even one prick
It's my thing about blood

Well, it's sick
It's no sicker
Than your thing with dwarves
Dwarfs?
Dwarfs
Dwarfs are very upsetting

Not forgetting
The tasks unachievable
Mountains unscalable
If it's conceivable
But unavailable
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Agony
Misery
Woe
Not to know what you miss
While they lie there for years
And you cry on their biers
What unbearable bliss

Agony
That can cut like a knife

Ah well, back to my wife
