| [00:41.00] |
A young man walked through the forest |
| [00:44.00] |
with his quiver and hunting bow |
| [00:48.00] |
He heard a young girl singing |
| [00:52.00] |
and followed the sound below |
| [00:55.00] |
There he found the maiden |
| [00:59.00] |
who lives in the willow |
| [01:02.00] |
He called to her as she listened |
| [01:06.00] |
from a ring of toadstools red |
| [01:10.00] |
'Come with me my maiden |
| [01:14.00] |
come from thy willow bed' |
| [01:17.00] |
She looked at him serenely |
| [01:21.00] |
and only shook her head. |
| [01:25.00] |
'See me now, a ray of light in the moondance |
| [01:33.00] |
See me now, I cannot leave this place |
| [01:40.00] |
Hear me now, a strain of song in the forest |
| [01:47.00] |
Don't ask me, to follow where you lead' |
| [01:56.00] |
|
| [02:03.00] |
A young man walked through the forest |
| [02:06.00] |
with a flower and coat of green |
| [02:10.00] |
His love had hair like fire |
| [02:13.00] |
her eyes an emerald sheen |
| [02:17.00] |
She wrapped herself in beauty |
| [02:21.00] |
so young and so serene |
| [02:24.00] |
He stood there under the willow |
| [02:28.00] |
and he gave her the yellow bloom |
| [02:31.00] |
girl my heart you've captured |
| [02:35.00] |
oh I would be your groom' |
| [02:39.00] |
She said she'd wed him never |
| [02:43.00] |
not near, nor far, nor soon |
| [02:47.00] |
'See me now, a ray of light in the moondance |
| [02:53.00] |
See me now, I cannot leave this place |
| [03:01.00] |
Hear me now, a strain of song in the forest |
| [03:09.00] |
Don't ask me, to follow where you lead' |
| [03:19.00] |
|
| [03:24.00] |
A young man walked through the forest |
| [03:28.00] |
with an axe sharp as a knife |
| [03:32.00] |
I'll take the green-eyed fairy |
| [03:35.00] |
and she shall be my wife |
| [03:39.00] |
With her I'll raise my children |
| [03:42.00] |
with her I'll live my life |
| [03:46.00] |
The maiden wept when she heard him |
| [03:50.00] |
when he said he'd set her free |
| [03:53.00] |
He took his axe and used it |
| [03:57.00] |
to bring down her ancient tree |
| [04:01.00] |
'Now your willow's fallen |
| [04:04.00] |
now you belong to me' |
| [04:08.00] |
'See me now, a ray of light in the moondance |
| [04:15.00] |
See me now, I cannot leave this place |
| [04:22.00] |
Hear me now, a strain of song in the forest |
| [04:30.00] |
Don't ask me, to follow where you lead' |
| [04:40.00] |
|
| [04:52.00] |
She followed him out the forest |
| [04:58.00] |
and collesped upon the earth |
| [05:03.00] |
Her feets had walked but a distance |
| [05:08.00] |
from the green land of her birth |
| [05:13.00] |
She faded into a flower |
| [05:18.00] |
that would bloom for one bright eve |
| [05:23.00] |
He could not take from the forest |
| [05:27.00] |
what was never meant to leave |
