A SONG FOR ANNE by JOAN CAMPBELL

First Line: I WILL DANCE WITH THE FOLKS OF THE SIDHE TONIGHT
Last Line: BROWNIE AND LEPRECHAUN.
Subject(s): FANTASY; SINGING & SINGERS; SONGS;

I WILL dance with the folks of the @3Sidhe@1 tonight,
I have learned their Magic rune,
The Moon-flowers whispered the words to me,
And the night winds sang me the tune.

Sing: @3The Man in the Moon is coming now,
A little star lamp in his hand,
To light me into the Secret wood,
Down the roads of Faerie-land.@1

Hidden away in a secret wood,
Where the owls and black bats flit,
The little red toad-stools stand in a ring,
Where a Queen and her maids shall sit.

Sing: @3The little red stools are set tonight
Under the twisted thorn.
The Folk of the Sidhe are dancing there,
Brownie and Leprechaun.@1
