Mirror, mirror! shining bright,

despite the darkness of the night,

tell me plainly my biggest fear

and whisper softly in my ear

and say that all is right.

 

Mirror, mirror! you’ve never lied

and never inspired vanity or pride,

tell me plainly my biggest fear

and whisper softly in my ear

what will not change with the tide.

 

Mirror, mirror! all you’ve shone

is flesh and tissue but not the bone,

tell me plainly my biggest fear

and whisper softly in my ear

that I will die unloved and alone.
