2 6 SWEDISH SONG GAMES
IV
Briar Rosebud sleeps a hundred years, hundred years, like dead, my dears,
Briar Rosebud sleeps a hundred years, like dead, my dears.
Description. The princess lies on the ground, asleep. Hedge and
castle stop moving.
v
Great thorny hedges round her meet, round her meet, sleeping sweet,
Great thorny hedges round her meet, sleeping sweet.
Description. The hedge forms a high chain.
VI
Now brave Prince Charming cuts the thorn, cuts the thorn, on summer morn,
Now brave Prince Charming cuts the thorn, on summer morn.
Description. Circles move as before. The prince runs around the
hedge, cutting the thorns by striking the uplifted hands, which drop as
he touches them, and enters the castle.
He wakens the princess with a gentle touch on her head. The
princess rises.
VII
The gallant prince then takes her hand, takes her hand, tiny hand,
Briar Rosebud wakes from Slumberland, far-off land.
Description. The prince and princess, ring grasp, dance then to
right. Music in lively time.
VIII
Briar Rosebud is the prince’s bride, prince’s bride, dearest pride,
And merrily they dance away, side by side.
Description. They continue dancing in still livelier time.
The game begins again, the outside circle moving to the left and
the inside to the right. The ugly fay becomes the princess, while a
new fay and prince are chosen.
