Far across fertile fields and raging rivers
Through woods filled with wooden slivers
Underneath the bluest of skies
Lies a castle built of stone and timber
Proudly does the heralding flags fly,

Brightly does the sun ever shine here
Washing over the merry people clear

Rising up in the middle of the castle, a tower
Strong and tall, an example of the royal power
Parapets placed upon the top like a crown
The princess within, spends every waking hour
Forlornly looking out, and down

Fingers working the loom, spinning through time
Anything to ease her heavy, burdened mind

Below the tower, the people move unknowing
Their faces beaming, a happy countenance showing
Going about with everyday cares
While up above, constant tears flowing
A still and stifling silence in the air

As she waits with hands clasped saintly,
Waiting for her prince to return, patiently

Having read nursery rhymes to the point I can recite them all by heart, this reminded me of Rapunzel.  I am thoroughly convinced that you are right and it should be Happily Never After.
