  • A young man walked through the forest
    With his quiver and hunting bow
    He heard a young girl singing
    And followed the sound below
    There he found the maiden
    Who lives in the willow
    He called to her as she listened
    From a ring of toadstools red
    'Come with me my maiden
    Come from thy willow bed'
    She looked at him serenely
    And only shook her head.
    'See me now, a ray of light in the moondance
    See me now, I cannot leave this place
    Hear me now, a strain of song in the forest
    Don't ask me, to follow where you lead'
    A young man walked through the forest
    With a flower and coat of green
    His love had hair like fire
    Her eyes an emerald sheen
    She wrapped herself in beauty
    So young and so serene
    He stood there under the willow
    And he gave her the yellow bloom
    'Girl my heart you've captured
    Oh I would be your groom'
    She said she'd wed him never
    Not near, nor far, nor soon
    'See me now, a ray of light in the moondance
    See me now, I cannot leave this place
    Hear me now, a strain of song in the forest
    Don't ask me, to follow where you lead'
    A young man walked through the forest
    With an axe sharp as a knife
    I'll take the green-eyed fairy
    And she shall be my wife
    With her I'll raise my children
    With her I'll live my life
    The maiden wept when she heard him
    When he said he'd set her free
    He took his axe and used it
    To bring down her ancient tree
    'Now your willow's fallen
    Now you belong to me'
    'See me now, a ray of light in the moondance
    See me now, I cannot leave this place
    Hear me now, a strain of song in the forest
    Don't ask me, to follow where you lead'
    She followed him out the forest, and collapsed upon the earth
    Her feet had walked but a distance,
    From the green land of her birth
    She faded into a flower,
    That would bloom for one bright eve
    He could not take from the forest,
    What was never meant to leave.
