>>36833709Don't forget "Hearts Strong as Horses" and "Apples to the Core."
But compare these lyrics:
It comes to this at last:
I will no longer yield the sky,
If they cannot love
But one princess alone.
See, the Moon is rising;
She has come to claim the heavens for her own—
And all will know the wonder
Of my dark and jeweled sky
When all the world is wrapped
In an eternal lullaby;
So say goodnight to this,
The final setting of the sun;
Tomorrow dawns in darkness—
The nighttime has begun!
--with (say) these:
Applejack needs your help
She's trying hard, doing what she can
Would you try, just give it a chance;
You might find that you'll start to understand.
Pinkie Pie is in trouble,
We need to get there by her side;
We can try to do what we can now,
For together we can be her guide.
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help them see.
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
To see the light that shines from a true, true friend!
You don't need to know anything technical about prosody or scansion or stanza form to feel the difference.
