‘All hail thou, mighty Queen of Heaven

For thy peer on earth could never be.’

“‘Oh no, oh no, True Thomas,’ she said,

‘That name does not belong to me;

I am but the queen of fair Elfland,

That am hither come to visit thee.

“‘Now, ye must go with me,’ she said;

‘True Thomas, ye must go with me;

And ye must serve me seven years,

Through weal or woe as chance may be.’
