You Will Be The Violet Shod

you will be the violet shod oh with a nod and you'll
go dancing on o
you will be the garlanded the heralded

the lilac sprigged and you'll go dancing on

you will be the rose bright maids the gentle brave
in light and shade
summers lemon skied parade

while you go dancing on o.

prophecies may come and go
all I know in drifts of snow
still I can see with brimming eyes

that you'll survive, and so alive
as you go dancing on o.
