The Erlking by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "Do you want to come with me, fine lad? My daughters should be waiting for you; My daughters lead the nightly dances And will rock and dance and sing you to sleep." "My father, my father, can't you see there, The Erlking's daughters in the gloomy place?" "My son, my son, I see it well: The old willows seem so gray." "I love you, your beautiful form entices me; And if you're not willing, I shall use force." "My father, my father, he's grabbing me now! The Erlking has wounded me!" The father shudders; he rides swiftly, He holds in his arms the moaning child. Barely he arrives at the yard in urgency; In his arms, the child was dead. Who rides, so late, through night and wind? It is the father with his child. He holds the boy in the crook of his arm He holds him safe, he keeps him warm. "My son, why do you hide your face so anxiously?" "Father, do you not see the Erlking? The Erlking with crown and cloak?" "My son, it's a wisp of fog." "You lovely child, come, go with me! Many a beautiful game I'll play with you; Some colorful flowers are on the shore, My mother has some golden robes." "My father, my father, can't you hear, What the Erlking quietly promised me?" "Be calm, stay calm, my child; The wind rustles through dry leaves." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XP5RP6OEJI&feature=channel_page
