With your spangled dress
And your merry dog,
Where do you go now,
Leaping along cliffs,
Eyes on the sun?
You are careless of the cities,
You who go from heel to toe,
With your hands wide open,
And your mouth agape.
Chorus:
Play a pipe and lead me
On a gay jig,
I will listen
When you call the tune.
I can hear you when I
Trust my own signs,
Weave a garland with your
Name in green runes.
Often I have found you,
Walkin' in my own shoes,
Singin' in the water,
As It runs along.
Whistling a wish--
Turn it three times true,
Leave it by the roadside
For the wind to find.
(Chorus)
(repeat verse 2 on)
