As recorded is his The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and other verses from The Red Book Book. The Princess Mee Little Princess Mee Lovely was she As in elven-song is told; She had pearls in hair All treaded fair; of gossamer shot with gold Was her kerchief made, And a silver braid O"f stars about her throat. Of moth-web light All moonlit-white She wore a woven coat, And round her kirle Was bond a girdle Sewn with diamond dew. She walked by day Under mantle gray And Hood of clouded blue; but she went by night All glittering bright Under the starlit sky, And her slippers frail Of fishes' mail Flashed as she went by to her dancing-pool, And on mirror cool Of windless water played. As a mist of light In whirling flight A glint like glass she made Wherever her feet Of silver fleet flicked the dancing-floor. She looked on high To the roofless sky, And she looked to the shadowy shore; Then round she went, And her eyes she bent And saw beneath her go A Princess Shee As fair as Mee; They were dancing toe to toe! Shee was a light As Mee, as a bright; But Shee was,strange to tell, Hanging down With starry crown Into a bottomless well! Her gleaming eyes In great surprise Looked up top the eyes of Mee; A marvelous thing, Head down to swing Above a starry sea! Only their feet Could ever meet; For where the ways might lie To find a land Where they do not stand but hang down in the sky No one could tell Nor learn in spell In all the elven-lore. So still on her own an elf alone Dancing as before With pearls in hair And kittle fair And slippers frail Of fishes' mail went Mee; Of fishes' mail And slippers frail And kittle fair With pearls in hair went Shee!
