Should you go to Lamorna
beware the 'Pipers Stones',
For there the 'Merry Maidens' danced
'til Lightning touched their bones.
All on a Sabbath morning,
then far beyond the day,
They heard the Faerie music sound,
and danced the night away.
In vain, the church-bell called them,
inside the old church tower,
But they could hear no Mortal sound
while in the Faeries' power.
They danced beneath the thunder,
in circles, then alone,
Until a bolt of Lightning struck
and turned them all to Stone.
So if you're near the 'Pipers Stones'
all on a Summer's day,
Be sure to leave a Faerie gift,
then hasten on your way!
