And louder, louder wax'd the sound,
As they came riding on.
"Will o' the Wisp before them went,
Sent forth a twinkling light;
And soon she saw the Fairy bands
All riding in her sight.
"And first gaed by the black, black steed.
And then gaed by the brown;
But fast she grip't the milk-white steed,
And pu'd the rider down.
