Leipreachán

Deep in the mist of midnight gloom

Sparkling down the silver dew
A whisper silent still calls me through
I hear the voice of stars and moon
“Follow the steps all behind you”
The wind still blows my name through…
The forest realm
And silent dales
The woods so far
And dreamy shades
I fall with waters blue
Once again to find you
Dance in the shadow of the moon
Write down the path still hidden in awe
The dawn, now frozen in bow
Share with me your secret, green-hat Leprechaun
In the fire moon rising behind old tales
I sing a song of a nightingale
A moment of dark shines with brightest light
Lost gift of the fate I dared to find
Write down the path still hidden in awe
The dawn, now frozen in bow
Share with me your secret, green-hat Leprechaun
Your tales enchant me 
I’m lost in the woods
Your riddles bewitched me
With their verity so pure
The dream of lost treasure
Came at once true
Write down the path avoiding daybreak’s call
Still haunting moon will hide truth before the dawn
Follow the steps behind you, my Leprechaun
