And then she stooped to his quivering lip,

Imprinting a dainty kiss.

"Why don't you get up out of that?" she cried,

And make no longer stay.

But a spirit within, still held him down,

In a magical sort of way.

"O troubadour, you're a suitable man,

To live in the woods with me,

We'll dance to the charms of elphin song,

Down under the greenwood tree."
