Snowdrop In Her Glass Coffin

"We Cannot lay her in the dark earth"

said the dwarfs and so they had a transparent glass coffin made

 so that she could be seen from every side

Laid her in it and wrote on it her name and that she was a king's daughter

Then they carried the coffin into the wood and some of them always watched her

And the birds also came and bewailed Snowdrop

First and owl then a raven and lastly a dove

So Snowdrop lay a long long time in her coffin 

looking as thought she were asleep
