The girl goes dancing there On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth Grass plot of the garden Escaped from her bitter youth Escaped out of her crowd Or out of her black cloud.
She sings as the moon sings I am I, I am I The greater grows my light The further shall I fly I hear the wind a-blow I hear the grass a-grow And all that I know I know, I know.
The girl goes dancing there On the leaf-sown, new-mown, smooth grass of the garden Let her finish the dance Let her finish the dance Finish the dance.
