Novel called "The Willow Maiden".

+

A tragic love story between a young human man and a fey maiden living in a willow deep in the forest.

+

 

+

There's a song written on the last few pages of the book, after the epilogue, that appears to tell a shortened version of the same story:

+

 

+

A young man walked through the forest with his quiver and hunting bow

+

He heard a young girl singing and followed the sound below

+

There he found the maiden who lives in the willow

+

 

+

He called to her as she listened from a ring of toadstools red

+

'Come with me my maiden Come from thy willow bed.'

+

She looked at him serenely and only shook her head.

+

 

+

See me now, a ray of light in the moondance

+

See me now, I cannot leave this place

+

Hear me now, a strain of song in the forest

+

Don't ask me to follow where you lead

+

 

+

A young man walked through the forest with a flower and coat of green

+

His love had hair like fire her eyes an emerald sheen

+

She wrapped herself in beauty so young and so serene

+

 

+

He stood there under the willow and he gave her the yellow bloom

+

Girl my heart you've captured. Oh, I would be your groom

+

She said she'd wed him never. Not near, nor far, nor soon

+

 

+

See me now, a ray of light in the moondance

+

See me now, I cannot leave this place

+

Hear me now, a strain of song in the forst

+

Don't ask me to follow where you lead

+

 

+

A young man walked through the forest with an axe sharp as a knife

+

I'll take the green eyed fairy and she shall be my wife

+

With her I'll raise my children. With her I'll live my life

+

 

+

The maiden wept when she heard him. When he said he'd set her free

+

He took his axe and used it to bring down her ancient tree

+

Now your willow's fallen now you belong to me

+

 

+

See me now, a ray of light in the moondance

+

See me now, I cannot leave this place

+

Hear me now, a ray of light in the moondance

+

Don't ask me to follow where you lead

+

 

+

She followed him out the forest and collapsed upon the earth

+

Her feet had walked but a distance from the green land of her birth

+

She faded into a flower that would bloom for one bright eve

+

He could not take from the forest what was never meant to leave
