I have been down the long twisting road of pain --
So I know what the apple blossoms whispered to the rain;
I know the song o' witches in the magic of the moon;
I know the tears of roses and the fire-flies' cradle tune;
I know the words the stars sing to the blowing meadow grasses;
I know the road the wizards built for elfin lads and lasses.
