Uhland's White Stag.
By Eugene Field
Into the woods three huntsmen came, Seeking the white stag for their game. They laid them under a green fir-tree And slept, and dreamed strange things to see. (FIRST HUNTSMAN) I dreamt I was beating the leafy brush, When out popped the noble stag--hush, hush! (SECOND HUNTSMAN) As ahead of the clamorous pack he sprang, I pelted him hard in the hide--piff, bang! (THIRD HUNTSMAN) And as that stag lay dead I blew On my horn a lusty tir-ril-la-loo! So speak the three as there they lay When lo! the white stag sped that way, Frisked his heels at those huntsmen three, Then leagues o'er hill and dale was he-- Hush, hush! Piff, bang! Tir-ril-la-loo!
