As if in a dream she approached me Her beauty beyond all compare Three melodies were her gift to me My harp strung by her golden hair The joys of life and wonders to come The piercing pain of lost love
The lady gave her gift to me Those otherworldly melodies That brought my maiden back to me The river-elf's lost love
Out of the mist he appeared So fair but so cold Drowning in turbulent dreams Her grief knowing no bounds
The lady gave her gift to me Those otherworldly melodies That brought my maiden back to me The river elf's lost love
