This is the Princess of Wandeltreg

This is the Prince so brave and so grand

Who sailed over sea and rode over land

Till he found the Princess of Wandeltreg

To please the Dwarf with anxious looks

This is the Goblin with fingers so frail

Who hopped with ease over mountain and dale

As he chased the Prince so brave and so grand

Who sailed over sea and rode over land

Till he found the Princess of Wandeltreg

Was caught by the Gnome with beard so gray

Who digged for gems all night and day

VII

This is the Witch with Broomstick and Cat

Who sputtered and snarled and shook her tall hat

When she missed the Goblin with fingers so frail

Who hopped with ease over mountain and dale

As he chased the Prince so brave and so grand

Who sailed over sea and rode over land

Till he found the Princess of Wandeltreg

Who, while playing a game of Mumblepeg,

Was caught by the Gnome with beard so gray

Who digged for gems all night and day

To please the Dwarf with anxious looks

Who guarded the castle and kept the books

For Giant Thunder Bones.



VIII

And last comes the Kobold who slept while 'twas light

And did all the housework in the dead of the night

To worry the Witch with Broomstick and Cat

Who sputtered and snarled and shook her tall hat

When she missed the Goblin with fingers so frail

Who hopped with ease over mountain and dale

As he chased the Prince so brave and so grand

Who sailed over sea and rode over land

Till he found the Princess of Wandeltreg

Who, while playing a game of Mumblepeg,

Was caught by the Gnome with beard so gray

Who digged for gems all night and day

To please the Dwarf with anxious looks

Who guarded the castle and kept the books

For Giant Thunder Bones.
