I once had a prince
He had hair of crimson
Skin so fair
Eyes like a stormy sea

He spoke of my beauty
and his love for me
In all ways he was true
Till one day he travelled
to a land across the sea

He said he had to go alone
To see just what he could see
Had to find the jewel in his heart
Before he could crown me as his queen

Before long he was lonesome
Such a mistake had never been
He said to journey away
From his land and from me

I used to visit him there
Just two days or three
At Christmas he returned
With perfumes, silver and silks for me

When he went back I was hopeful
That time would not pass too slow
Then my prince would return
and claim me for his own

One day he returned
He did not come for me
Now he shall be king alone
And I shall never be his queen

An empty vessel am I
Alone with this sorrow in me
I wish my prince
Had never travelled
To that land across the sea

For it stole all his love from me
It stole all his love from me

I once had a prince
He had hair of crimson
Skin so fair
Eyes like a stormy sea
