It is the father with his child;

 

He holds the boy well in his arm,

 

takes him safely, keeps him warm.

“Dear child, come, go with me!

 

I will play beautiful games with you;

 

Many colorful flowers on the beach bloom in bold,

 

My mother has many garments of gold. “-

“My father, my father, and do you not hear,

 

What The Erlking promises softly to me ? “-

 

“Be quiet, stay calm, my child, stop the crying;

 

In dry leaves the wind, it is sighing. “

They lead the nightly dance,

 

And rock and sing you in a trance. “-

The old willows seem so gray. – “

“I love you, and I am charmed by your beauty;

 

And if you are not willing, I will use force. “-

The father is terrified, he rides fast,

 

He holds the groaning child in his arms,

 

Reaches the courtyard with hardship and dread;

 

In his arms the child is dead.
