Analysis of Elf-Maiden ( Anna Elda I )
Elf maiden princess of the night
When with you I feel so right
My heart for you alone do I give
Please help save me from this sin
For you are the most fare
With your yearning seductive stare
When you cast your spell upon me
You make me fall to my knees
When I hear the call of your voice
I have but only one choice
I will keep falling in love with you
What is this Elf prince to do
So please tell me that this is real
My heart has been cut by Elven steel
Your love is what I want more now than ever
In our bonds that no one shall sever
Give me your heart and your hand
Together in the sylvan wood we stand
Dancing and laughing without a care
Our children's, children all shall be there
