Respite from the garret

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust 
The cinders gave me my identity first... 
But a benevolent godmother with fairy dust so fine, 
Had for me a dress of gold and silver threads entwine! 
A tap on the head turned 'em six mice to dapple-gray steed, 
my chariot - the moon, the witches, the charm and more decreed; 
Caged-rat-to-coachman fix - 
With liveried footmen come from lizards six! 
Dainty lil' glass slippers to carry me, 
back before the witching hour - I outta be!
