He chased and fast she fled
Down a path most fear to tread
Far from friends dark descends
Yet a hint of light ahead
A glimpse of glittering gold
By a river swift and cold
Jewels fair waiting there
A glimmering rove of wealth untold
And then she sighed
The spell was cast
It held her fast
Her lover called to her in vain
There it long had lain
Long will she dream in its light by the riverside
And then he sighed
Thе spell was cast
It held them fast
And so thеy lingered, captives twain
There it long hath lain
There it long hath Iain
Long will they dream in its light by the riverside
