Thumbelina and the sparkling water

Thumbelina awoke from her little cradle
Which was made from half a walnut shell
Its soft mattress of flower petals and the rose leaf coverlet
had kept her snug and warm.
She decide to amuse herself by going down to the river
There she climbed aboard a waterlily
and sailed across the sparkling water
Her friends the birds watched her and said
"What a lovely little maiden she is, as beautiful as a rose in summer"

She looks lovely displayed on a blue silk cloth to simulate water
