Then the darling danced down a flowery path,

Still singing her song so sweet,

With hawthorn branches on either hand,

And crocuses under feet.

And she found a beautiful blue-eyed prince

Asleep in a thicket dim,

Caught in a bramble-rose which grew

By magic over him.

Thro' the leaves and roses she scarce could see

His head with its flaxen curls,
