The Little Queen Lyrics

HE LITTLE QUEEN (The Firelizard Song)
by Anne McCaffrey ©1976/1977 (small edits by Tania Opland in italics)

The little queen all golden
Flew hissing at the sea.
To stop each wave
Her clutch to save
||: She ventured bravely. :||
As she attacked the sea in rage
A holderman came nigh
Along the sand
Fishnet in hand
||: And saw the queen midsky. :||
He stared at her in wonder
For often he'd been told
That such as she
Could never be
||: Who hovered there, bright gold. :||

He saw her plight and quickly
Looked up the cliff he faced
And saw a cave
Above the wave
In which her eggs he placed.
The little queen all golden
Upon his shoulder stood
Her eyes of blue (Her eyes all blue)
Aglow with true (glowed of her true)
Undying gratitude
- With undying gratitude.
