Poem by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
Music written and also sung by Loreena McKennitt
"Stolen Child"
Where dips the rocky highland
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water-rats
There we've hid our faery vats
Full of berries
And of reddest stolen cherries
Come away, O human child
To the waters and the wild
With a fairy, hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand.
Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams
Come away, O human child
To the waters and the wild
With a fairy, hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand.
(there are more verses but only the above are featured on the layout)
