Sleeping Beauty folklore tradition

“Poison blood from the wound of the pricked hand Oh, still I dream of him”

Angela & Uncle Jerry identify the 'pricked hand' and 'poison blood' as a Sleeping Beauty reference. Uncle Jerry specifies this as Aarne-Thompson index number 410, explaining the tradition of stories where a young girl is told by prophecy she will be pricked, sometimes by flax under the fingernail, sometimes by a spinning wheel needle, and fall into a death-like sleep until awakened by true love's kiss. He notes the connection to the song's prophecy theme: in Sleeping Beauty, the prophecy is partially changed by good fairies who alter death to sleep, suggesting a tiny bit of hope that Taylor's prophecy might also change. The line 'still I dream of him' connects to the sleeping/dreaming state of the fairy tale heroine.
