THE THREE PRINCESSES.
At home in Father's garden
There grows an apple tree;
Where the children play at being
Princesses, one, two, three.
There grows an apple tree;
Where the children play at being
Princesses, one, two, three.
“Look!” says one, “The morning
Is already come!”
“Hark!” the next one answers,
“I can hear the drum!”
Is already come!”
“Hark!” the next one answers,
“I can hear the drum!”
“Listen!” cries the last one,
“'Tis the gallant knight
Who for our deliverance
Marches to the fight.
“'Tis the gallant knight
Who for our deliverance
Marches to the fight.
“If he win the battle,
He will marry me;
Let him win or lose it,
He's the knight for me!”
He will marry me;
Let him win or lose it,
He's the knight for me!”
