TO AN ISLE IN THE WATER

Shy one, shy one,

Shy one of my heart,

She moves in the firelight

Pensively apart.

She carries in the dishes

And lay them in a row.

To an Isle in the water

With her would I go.

She carries in the candles

And lights the curtained room.

Shy in the doorway,

And shy in the gloom,

And shy as a rabbit,

Helpful and shy.

To an Isle in the water

With her would I fly.
