And flowers adorn each mossy bed;

The waters babble as they run—

One thing is lacking, only one:

If Mary were but here today,

I would believe your [charming lay],

Witchery—witchery—witchery!

Along the shady road I look—

Who’s coming now across the brook?

A woodland maid, all robed in white—

The leaves dance round her with delight,
