In the woods at eve I wandered
Through the sunset's crimson light
In the woods, in the woods at eve
There sat Damon playing softly
On the flute for my delight;
So, la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la!

Ah he swore he loved me truly
Begged me would I love him, too
And bewitched me with his music
As it thrilled the forest through;
So la la la la la la la la la la la ia la la la la la la!

Now my heart n'er ceases longing
For a lover proven false, proven false, proven false
And that cruel, haunting music
Still my restless soul enthralls
So, la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la!
