2 6 SWEDISH SONG GAMES
At i, the inner circle claps hands and right-about-faces toward
outer circle; again joining hands, circles move as in verse I.
III
These pretty maidens sing this song:
"Now do our hands, to you belong."
Maidens so pretty ne’er, I ween,
Joined hands upon the village green.
Girls forming inside circle drop hands and choose partners from the
large circle. They stand, facing each other, hips firm, moving heads
from side to side, in time to music, as: at i, to left, at 2, to right, etc.
At 6, shake right hands.
IV
These pretty maidens now are glad,
Each maid has found her playmate lad.
Maidens so pretty ne’er, I ween,
Danced on the green.
The couples dance around ring grasp from 1-4 to right; from 5-8,
to left. The game begins again, this time with the boys in the inside
circle.
