Fleeing ran a weeping maiden through the rustic forest floor
Lost in turmoil of betrayal at her lover's bedroom door
From a sight so much disturbing, she escaped into the night
Caring nought for rain or thunder, drenched in lost love's plight

^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^
 
For another shared his kisses and left a scent of perfume rare
Where he promised love eternal as she pledged her's, oh so fair    
On she ran broken hearted as much colder grew the night
At a hanging weeping willow, 'twas the sad end of her flight

^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^

Beside the dew-filled branches, she gave up her will to fight
So her spirit lives forever at that spot, her empty grave
Her doomed love joined the raindrops and with tears a river made
Poor lovely little maiden, a free spirit, happy there

^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^ ^j^

The tree holds her warmly, to caress her long green hair
Now and then she stops to ponder, on men's fickled wayward  whim    
As her fingertips keep reaching for the sun's bright golden rim
The moon looks on in sorrow and the nightingales sing
