In the forest glade
I laid me down to sleep a while
And there beneath a fine oak tree
I dreamed the strangest dream
Strange dance, strange night
demon came to me [bad word] the morning light
I woke to find I was with child
boy was born, he laughs, he sings
And I look on in awe
Strange dance, strange dawn
The oak tree was no more

Will he be full of love
Or will he pave the devil's way
Caressing me with his golden eyes
The spell is cast, I have no say
Strange dance, strange tale
Merlin was born on a summer's day
Merlin was born today.
