Sylvan
Language: English
Long, long ago when the moon was a maid And the little gold stars were children small, You had your home in the forest glade And I lived alone in a waterfall. You piped and sang in the woodland glade And forth I ran at the magic call; And oh! we laughed and loved and played, And nobody cared at all. Long, long ago when the moon was a maid And the little gold stars were children small, When you were a faun in the forest glade And I was a nymph in a waterfall.
