Sir Thunye rides in good green wood,
He fain will chase the nimble hare;
And there he meeteth the Dwarf’s daughter,
All with her band of maidens fair.
Sir Thunye rides in good green wood,
To chase the nimble hart and hind;
And there he meets the Dwarf’s daughter,
Beneath the linden bough reclin’d.

"Now sit ye down, my maids so small,
And sit you down my little foot boy;
For I the Runic note will play,
Till field and meadow bloom with joy."
