<p>Novel called "The Willow Maiden".</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>A tragic love story between a young human man and a fey maiden living in a willow deep in the forest.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>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:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>A young man walked through the forest with his quiver and hunting bow</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>He heard a young girl singing and followed the sound below</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>There he found the maiden who lives in the willow</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>He called to her as she listened from a ring of toadstools red</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>'Come with me my maiden Come from thy willow bed.'</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>She looked at him serenely and only shook her head.</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>See me now, a ray of light in the moondance</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>See me now, I cannot leave this place</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>Hear me now, a strain of song in the forest</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>Don't ask me to follow where you lead</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>A young man walked through the forest with a flower and coat of green</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>His love had hair like fire her eyes an emerald sheen</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>She wrapped herself in beauty so young and so serene</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>He stood there under the willow and he gave her the yellow bloom</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>Girl my heart you've captured. Oh, I would be your groom</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>She said she'd wed him never. Not near, nor far, nor soon</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>See me now, a ray of light in the moondance</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>See me now, I cannot leave this place</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>Hear me now, a strain of song in the forst</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>Don't ask me to follow where you lead</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>A young man walked through the forest with an axe sharp as a knife</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>I'll take the green eyed fairy and she shall be my wife</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>With her I'll raise my children. With her I'll live my life</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>The maiden wept when she heard him. When he said he'd set her free</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>He took his axe and used it to bring down her ancient tree</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>Now your willow's fallen now you belong to me</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>See me now, a ray of light in the moondance</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>See me now, I cannot leave this place</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>Hear me now, a ray of light in the moondance</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>Don't ask me to follow where you lead</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> </p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>She followed him out the forest and collapsed upon the earth</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>Her feet had walked but a distance from the green land of her birth</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>She faded into a flower that would bloom for one bright eve</i></p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p><i>He could not take from the forest what was never meant to leave</i></p>
