They bathe her in the crystal spring,

They set her down in open spaces sunny,

And weave her an enchanted ring;

They will not let her beauty die,

Her innocence and purity;

They sweeten her fair brow with kisses many,

And ever round her dance and sing.

O do you hear the merry waters falling,

In the mossy woods of Carr?

O do you hear the child's voice, calling, calling,
