lyrics

Jeg gik mig i Skoven en sildig Sommerkvæld
Og tømte mig at Bæger, af sprudlende Væld.
Men vogt dig, vogt dig, o min Pige, for Elverkongen seer dig!

Den brusende Bølge sprang ud fra grønne Høj;
Med et saa blev den stille, den flød uden Støj.
Men vogt dig…

Da tonede Luften af Sang og Strengespil,
Tre hvide Møer dansed i Duggen dertil.

Som Duft over Engen, saa flygtig til at se,
De trende blev til en og den ene til tre.

Han selv stod i Midten af hines lette Sving:
Da drog han af sin Finger en kostelig Ring.

Jeg greb efter Ringen, men han greb min Haand;
De hvide Møer slynged omkring os et Baand.

Nu bor jeg i Højen som Elverkongens Brud,
Og kun naar Duggen falder, jeg vover mig ud.
Men vogt dig, vogt dig, o min Pige, for Elverkongen seer dig!
