On the high balcony of his gleaming tower
The king of Elfland stood
He knew well the harshness of material things and all the turmoil of time
And he knew that there hung over his daughter now the doom of all mortal things
Then he wept and all Elfland shivered
And all Elfland [3x]
And all Elfland shivered
And all Elfland shivered
On the high balcony of his gleaming tower
The king of Elfland stood
He knew well the harshness of material things and all the turmoil of time
And he knew that there hung over his daughter now the doom of all mortal things
Then he wept and all Elfland shivered
And all Elfland shivered [5x]
On the high balcony of his gleaming tower
The king of Elfland stood
He knew well the harshness of material things and all the turmoil of time
And he knew that there hung over his daughter now the doom of all mortal things
Then he wept and all Elfland shivered
