Will o' the Wisp

C. Spross

Will-o'-the-wisp with your dancing light,

Where do you wander into the night?

Where will you lead, if I keep you in sight?

Will-o'-the-wisp, will your lantern illumine for me

A fairy ring 'neath a forest tree?

Or will you beckon me down to the sea?

Will-o'-the-wisp, the wise people say,

Who follows your lead goes far astray,

And never again sees the light of day.

Will-o'-the-wisp, though you are swift as the flying wind,

The treasures you seek, I too, will find,

So come! so come! Let us leave the world far behind.

Will-o'-the-wisp, come, Will-o'-the-wisp, come, O come!

Will-o'-the-wisp.
