My quiet maiden is fair and tall;

She waits for me at the corner wall.

Evasive, she can be found nowhere;

Scratching my head, I seek here and there.

Beautiful is my quiet lass;

She gives me a blade of crimson grass.

The crimson grass spreads a rosy light;

I love the grass so fair and bright.

My maiden comes back from the mead;

She gives me a beautiful rare reed.

It's beautiful not because it's rare; But it's the gift of my maiden fair.
