A SONG FOR ANNE, by                    
First Line: I will dance with the folks of the sidhe tonight
Last Line: Brownie and leprechaun.
Subject(s): Fantasy; Singing & Singers; Songs


I WILL dance with the folks of the Sidhe tonight,
I have learned their Magic rune,
The Moon-flowers whispered the words to me,
And the night winds sang me the tune.

Sing: The Man in the Moon is coming now,
A little star lamp in his hand,
To light me into the Secret wood,
Down the roads of Faerie-land.

Hidden away in a secret wood,
Where the owls and black bats flit,
The little red toad-stools stand in a ring,
Where a Queen and her maids shall sit.

Sing: The little red stools are set tonight
Under the twisted thorn.
The Folk of the Sidhe are dancing there,
Brownie and Leprechaun.
