Rapunzel

All day, all day I brush
My golden strands of hair;
All day I wait and wait..
Ah, who is there?
Who calls? Who calls? The gold
Ladder of my long hair
I loose and wait.. and wait..
Ah, who is there?
She left at dawn.. I am blind
In the tangle of my long hair..
Is it she? the witch? the witch?
Ah, who is there?
