She lives in a cave, beneath the ground.
Layer upon layer of ice all around.
Large and small creatures, all frozen and still,
to remain there forever against their will.
She creeps above ground, in early May,
to snatch up trees in flower,
only to bring them to her cave,
and freeze them with her power.
The flowers like crystals, would drop to the floor
to be soft and fragrant, "Never-more".
What a pity t'would surely be,
if people like you and me, "No!'
If the world never sees,
Furry soft creatures, and flowering trees.
