"
Ah
,
he
knows
not
that
it
was
I
who
saved
his
life
,
"
thought
the
little
mermaid
.
"
I
carried
him
over
the
sea
to
the
wood
where
the
temple
stands
:
I
sat
beneath
the
foam
,
and
watched
till
the
human
beings
came
to
help
him
.
I
saw
the
pretty
maiden
that
he
loves
better
than
he
loves
me
;
"
and
the
mermaid
sighed
deeply
,
but
she
could
not
shed
tears
.
62
"
He
says
the
maiden
belongs
to
the
holy
temple
,
therefore
she
will
never
return
to
the
world
.
They
will
meet
no
more
:
while
I
am
by
his
side
,
and
see
him
every
day
.
I
will
take
care
of
him
,
and
love
him
,
and
give
up
my
life
for
his
sake
.
"
63
Very
soon
it
was
said
that
the
prince
must
marry
,
and
that
the
beautiful
daughter
of
a
neighboring
king
would
be
his
wife
,
for
a
fine
ship
was
being
fitted
out
.
Although
the
prince
gave
out
that
he
merely
intended
to
pay
a
visit
to
the
king
,
it
was
generally
supposed
that
he
really
went
to
see
his
daughter
.
A
great
company
were
to
go
with
him
.
The
little
mermaid
smiled
,
and
shook
her
head
.
She
knew
the
prince
's
thoughts
better
than
any
of
the
others
.

"
I
must
travel
,
"
he
had
said
to
her
;
"
I
must
see
this
beautiful
princess
;
my
parents
desire
it
;
but
they
will
not
oblige
me
to
bring
her
home
as
my
bride
.
I
can
not
love
her
;
she
is
not
like
the
beautiful
maiden
in
the
temple
,
whom
you
resemble
.
If
I
were
forced
to
choose
a
bride
,
I
would
rather
choose
you
,
my
dumb
foundling
,
with
those
expressive
eyes
.
"
And
then
he
kissed
her
rosy
mouth
,
played
with
her
long
waving
hair
,
and
laid
his
head
on
her
heart
,
while
she
dreamed
of
human
happiness
and
an
immortal
soul
.
"
You
are
not
afraid
of
the
sea
,
my
dumb
child
,
"
said
he
,
as
they
stood
on
the
deck
of
the
noble
ship
which
was
to
carry
them
to
the
country
of
the
neighboring
king
.
65
And
then
he
told
her
of
storm
and
of
calm
,
of
strange
fishes
in
the
deep
beneath
them
,
and
of
what
the
divers
had
seen
there
;
and
she
smiled
at
his
descriptions
,
for
she
knew
better
than
any
one
what
wonders
were
at
the
bottom
of
the
sea
.
66
In
the
moonlight
,
when
all
on
board
were
asleep
,
excepting
the
man
at
the
helm
,
who
was
steering
,
she
sat
on
the
deck
,
gazing
down
through
the
clear
water
.
She
thought
she
could
distinguish
her
father
's
castle
,
and
upon
it
her
aged
grandmother
,
with
the
silver
crown
on
her
head
,
looking
through
the
rushing
tide
at
the
keel
of
the
vessel
.
Then
her
sisters
came
up
on
the
waves
,
and
gazed
at
her
mournfully
,
wringing
their
white
hands
.
She
beckoned
to
them
,
and
smiled
,
and
wanted
to
tell
them
how
happy
and
well
off
she
was
;
but
the
cabin-boy
approached
,
and
when
her
sisters
dived
down
he
thought
it
was
only
the
foam
of
the
sea
which
he
saw
.
67
The
next
morning
the
ship
sailed
into
the
harbor
of
a
beautiful
town
belonging
to
the
king
whom
the
prince
was
going
to
visit
.
The
church
bells
were
ringing
,
and
from
the
high
towers
sounded
a
flourish
of
trumpets
;
and
soldiers
,
with
flying
colors
and
glittering
bayonets
,
lined
the
rocks
through
which
they
passed
.
Every
day
was
a
festival
;
balls
and
entertainments
followed
one
another
.

But
the
princess
had
not
yet
appeared
.
People
said
that
she
was
being
brought
up
and
educated
in
a
religious
house
,
where
she
was
learning
every
royal
virtue
.
At
last
she
came
.
69
Then
the
little
mermaid
,
who
was
very
anxious
to
see
whether
she
was
really
beautiful
,
was
obliged
to
acknowledge
that
she
had
never
seen
a
more
perfect
vision
of
beauty
.
Her
skin
was
delicately
fair
,
and
beneath
her
long
dark
eye-lashes
her
laughing
blue
eyes
shone
with
truth
and
purity
.
70
"
It
was
you
,
"
said
the
prince
,
"
who
saved
my
life
when
I
lay
dead
on
the
beach
,
"
and
he
folded
his
blushing
bride
in
his
arms
.
"
Oh
,
I
am
too
happy
,
"
said
he
to
the
little
mermaid
;
"
my
fondest
hopes
are
all
fulfilled
.
You
will
rejoice
at
my
happiness
;
for
your
devotion
to
me
is
great
and
sincere
.
"
