A Mermaid’s Unsung Song

She fell in love one day

When a fisherman's boat came out to sea.

It was love at first sight for her

The man had an aura like that of a prince.

The young maiden wanted to capture the man's heart

So she began to sing a song

And it truly was a splendid song.

But her voice did not reach her heart's robber

Not because they were of different tongues

But because humans were unable

To hear the voice of a mermaid.

Heartbroken and crestfallen

The mermaid let out a loud cry

Begging to be heard by her love

She was the only one that could hear it.
