In times long ago,
before Ponyville was Ponyville;
before Canterlot was Canterlot;
before Equestria was Equestria;
She was there, helping us and guiding us.

Her shimmering white coat was brighter than snow,
Her deep sapphire mane bluer than oceans;
the five stars on Her flank represented traits everypony desired:
Kindness, for to be kind was to care;

Loyalty, for to be loyal was to love;
Generosity, for to be generous was to give;
and Laughter, for to laugh was to smile.

Princess of the lands to be known as Equestria,
named after Her Little Ponies.

Time wore on, and as Her kingdom grew, She did as well.
Her Little Ponies had accomplished so much, and She was Proud.
They presented Her with the Elements of Harmony,
five gemstones to match the stars on Her flank, and one more, for Her magic.
She had two very special fillies, with horns of magic and wings of angels;
the eldest bright as day,
the youngest dark as night.

Her two fillies carried on in Her place,
one to raise the Sun and one to raise the Moon.
They were the new princesses of Equestria, and Her Little Ponies loved them.
As much as they loved the sister princesses, Her Little Ponies would never forget
the First Princess of Equestria;
they would never forget their
