The air is full of strangeness An unfamiliar breeze blows From deep within a forest I think I'll go to see
What's this, before me In shadows where no wind blows A crying, frightened flower Without a gentle breeze
She's crying for the sunlight That shadow left behind him She's crying for the coolness Of wind she's never seen
The day is getting longer The day is slowly dark now The moon a silver bubble That watches all it sees
Delight! Delight! The wolf of velvet fortune is upon his merry flight Goodnight! Goodnight! He travels in the beauty of the silver-glowing night Delight!...
The flower speaks in silence She bends herself in sorrow His eyes behold her wildness Electrifies the air
He moves the earth around her Confiding her with whispers He takes her from the shadows And thickness that is there
Swiftly! Swiftly! Through the brush and bramble land Under! Over! Flashing in and out, they fly...
Moonlight! Moonlight! See the bright star shining so Clearly! Clearly! Floating in the sky...
He brings her to a meadow Where the grass is tall and waving A tear comes to her eye As she looks upon her throne
And in a distant murmur A breeze begins its blowing The sun begins its rising The velvet wolf has flown...
Delight! Delight! The wolf of velvet fortune is upon his merry flight Goodnight! Goodnight! He travels in the beauty of the silver-glowing night Delight!...
