| Mother mine to the wild forest I am going | A |

| Honey child honey child the world is full of pleasure | D |
| Of bridal songs and cradle songs and sandal scented leisure | D |
| Your bridal robes are in the loom silver and saffron glowing | A |
| Your bridal cakes are on the hearth O whither are you going | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| The bridal songs and cradle songs have cadences of sorrow | E |
| The laughter of the sun to day the wind of death to morrow | E |
| Far sweeter sound the forest notes where forest streams are falling | A |
| O mother mine I cannot stay the fairy folk are calling | A |
