Setting. A large circle moving to the right. One player, a girl,
inside.
Description. The girl may move about inside the circle, or stand
still.
II
I take my arrow so,
And I place it in my bow;
I aim it at the lad,
But his life is safe, I know.
Description. Pretending to hold her bow in her right hand, she
draws with her left hand an arrow from the quiver, and takes aim at
some lad in the circle. He falls to the ground outside.
III
The lily fades away.
See it slowly pining there.
"Forgive me, lily maid,
For to you I’ve been unfair."
Description. The girl kneels, broken-hearted, hiding her face in
her hands. The lad, who has been only feigning injury, hastens to her.
IV
The lily maid springs up,
And her heart with joy is glad.
They dance together now,
Lily maid and bonny lad!
Description. Both dance around, ring grasp, inside the circle. The
boy now decides who shall be the next Lily Maid, and the game
continues as before.
