Lyrics

[00:16.84] A boy once roamed into the woods,
[00:21.10] His cheek was smooth and bright,
[00:24.87] He lost his way in woods of fay
[00:29.25] And was not home by night.
[00:33.02] The village folk turned out and searched
[00:37.10] From dawn till day was sped,
[00:40.65] But since they found no trace of him
[00:45.00] They gave him up as dead.
[00:48.74] Now after seven years had passed
[00:52.85] One morning it befell
[00:56.87] That he was seen beyond the green
[01:00.63] And heading toward the well.
[01:04.61] They asked him who he was and stared,
[01:08.70] His face seemed strange and dim.
[01:12.33] His parents both were gone and no
[01:16.52] One else remembered him.
[01:20.44] "A while ago I lost the path
[01:24.25] And walked in woods of fay,
[01:28.14] I came in time to feast with them,
[01:31.88] But soon was sent away.
[01:35.86] The people there are white as snow
[01:39.79] And they have golden locks,
[01:43.46] These are their words for sun and moon,
[01:47.55] For valleys, hills, and brooks."
[01:51.26] They laughed: "This early in the day
[01:54.96] He can't be full of wine!"
[01:58.86] They said that he was mad and made
[02:02.89] Him keeper of their kine.
[02:06.55] So every day he fared afield
[02:10.36] And sat upon a stone,
[02:14.26] And late into the night he sang,
[02:18.24] They left him quite alone.
[02:22.32] And only children heard his song
[02:26.25] And often sat beside,
[02:30.03] They sang it far into the years,
[02:35.15] Long after he had died.
