My Dear Snow White

Take a bite, sweetheart
Of this beautiful apple I hold
Quickly quickly, my hands do shake
I'm afraid I'm getting old

But you, my dear, you gleam
With the radiance of youth!
Your blood red lips are beautiful
My dove, I speak the truth

Your perfectly pale skin is soft
Like the petals of a white rose
So hurry up and eat my girl
Before your beauty goes!

Your hair is black, like a ravens wing
Or the moody tempestuous night
My dear Snow White, you hesitate
Why don't you take a bite?

That's it my darling, and another
One more will do the trick
What do I mean, well nothing at all
Just eat it all up quick

Just two bites of this apple sickly
And you have fallen to the floor
My dear snow white you look as if
Your traipsing to deaths door!

I may have neglected to tell you, sweet
Of the apples wicked heart
Poisoned just for you, little girl
So I resume my part!

When I ask my question tomorrow
Who's the fairest in the land,
It won't be you young Snow White
In front of the mirror I'll stand

I wish to see my beautiful face
With none more fair than I
Unluckily for you my dear
That meant you had to die!

I.Sparrow
