This Is Not My Daughter Poem by Harley White

[Narration and song lyric from my version of "The Wild Swans" (by Hans Christian Andersen) , directly after "Three Poisons"]

Narration:

Then to her father she was taken—
Now impossible to recognize.
The sight of her left him quite shaken.
He backed away.— The fire in his eyes
Said someone was badly mistaken.
Oh, if only the King had been wise!


"This Is Not My Daughter"
Father / King


This is not my daughter—
Not this creature defiled.
Where's the fool who brought her? !
How could she be my child? !

‘Twas a devil wrought her.
She's a horror— a fright.
This is not my daughter.
Get her out of my sight!
