The mythological creature described in this song is a Dryad.
In most European folklore(Aside from ancient Greek), Dryads were believed to be the spirits of particularly old oak trees.
Reclusive and mischievous these creatures lived bound to their trees, able to commune with the animals and plants of the forest.
The appearance of the Dryad would reflect the health of her tree , with her hair, eyes and in some stories even skin color changing to match the seasons.
It was believed that, should a dryad stray to far from her tree, cut of from the life essence of the Oak , she would literally wither away and die.
Common folk tales around central and eastern europe would often attribute that, if a young child was lost in the woods, it was very likely that they had been charmed by a Dryad.
The more you know.
