The bluebell way
Language: English
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.”
