from "a Lantern in her hand" by Bess Streeter Aldrich

She threw back her head and began singing:
 
"Oh, the Lady of the Lea,
Fair and young and gay was she,
Beautiful exceedingly,
The Lady of the Lea."
 
The Song embodied for her all the enchantment of the Arabian  Nights. It opened a door to a magic castle. It smelled of perfume and spices. It stood for wonderful things in life to come.
 
"Many a wooer sought her hand,
For she had gold and she had land,"
 
Her voice rose melodiously high and sweet and true.

"Everything at her command,
The Lady of the Lea."
 
Her heart seemed bursting with love of the trees, the sky, the melody.
 

"Oh, the Lady of the Lea,
Fair and young and gay was she,"
 
There seemed  a gleam ahead of her,__ a light that beckoned__ a little will-o'-the-wisp out there beyond the settlement in the Big Woods. It was something no one knew about,__ mother nor Mary Nor Belle. Only for her it shone,__ for her, and other lovely ladies.
 
"Fanciful exceedingly,
The Lady of the Lea."
