Fair lady Isabel sits in her bower sewing,

Aye as the gowans grow gay

There she heard an elf-knight blawing his horn.

The first morning in May

‘If I had yon horn that I hear blawing,

And yon elf-knight to sleep in my bosom.’

This maiden had scarcely these words spoken,

Till in at her window the elf-knight has luppen.
