The maiden sleeps in her chamber,<br />

Where the trembling moonbeams glance,<br />

Without there singeth and ringeth<br />

The melody of a dance.<br />

"I will look just once from the window.<br />

To see who breaks my rest."<br />

A skeleton fiddles before her.<br />

And sings like one possessed.<br />

"To dance with me you promised.<br />

And you have broken your vow.<br />

To-night is a ball in the churchyard.<br />

Come out and dance with me now."<br />

The music bewitches the maiden;<br />

Forth from her home doth she go;<br />

She follows the bony fiddler.<br />

Who sings as he scrapes his bow.<br />
