Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEBF GHGH GIJI KBAB| Four Princesses lived in a Green Tower | A |
| A Bright Green Tower in the middle of the sea | B |
| And no one could think oh no one could think | C |
| Who the Four Princesses could be | B |
| - | |
| One looked to the North and one to the South | D |
| And one to the East and one to the West | E |
| They were all so pretty so very pretty | B |
| You could not tell which was the prettiest | F |
| - | |
| Their curls were golden their eyes were blue | G |
| And their voices were sweet as a silvery bell | H |
| And four white birds around them flew | G |
| But where they came from who could tell | H |
| - | |
| Oh who could tell for no one knew | G |
| And not a word could you hear them say | I |
| But the sound of their singing like church bells ringing | J |
| Would sweetly float as they passed away | I |
| - | |
| For under the sun and under the stars | K |
| They often sailed on the distant sea | B |
| Then in their Green Tower and Roses bower | A |
| They lived again a mystery | B |
