The Elven dance

When night draws near
the harebells chime
to start the Elven dance.

On music sweet
they swirl and turn
and move as if in a trance.

The Elf Lords leap
into the air
and lift the maidens high

The night is filled
with songs of joy,
under a star-lit sky. 

Ere break of day
the harebells chime
to end the Elven ball.

With tired feet
they now go home
to wait for twilight’s call.
