The bluebell way

M. Brahe

Dainty, dainty maiden,

Tell me, tell me, pray,

Is it far to Elfinland,

Along the bluebell way?

“If you truly follow

Ev'ry bend of blue,

You will reach the magic gate

Before the dawn peeps through.”

Dainty, dainty maiden,

Tell me, tell me, pray,

Are the shadows dark and drear

Along the bluebell way?

“Light for your wand'ring feet

Moonbeams will spin,

Love with his golden key

Waits to let you in.”
