I saw her once and then again,
the maiden with the violet hair;
With eyes shinning bright and warm,
with skin as soft as it was fair.
Once she tempted me with words so coy,
twice she promished her sweetest touch;
but when she stood at my doorstep,
I think I scared her way too much.
For with hurried words and blushing cheeks,
she turned and fled from there;
And I was left laying alone wishing all the while,
for the maiden with the violet hair.
