The 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 berrys
|
||||
And of reddest stolen cherries.
|
||||
Come away, O human child!
|
||||
To the waters and the wild
|
||||
With a faery, hand in hand,
|
||||
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
|
||||
|
||||
Where the wave of moonlight glosses
|
||||
The dim gray sands with light,
|
||||
Far off by furthest Rosses
|
||||
We foot it all the night,
|
||||
Weaving olden dances
|
||||
Mingling hands and mingling glances
|
||||
Till the moon has taken flight;
|
||||
To and fro we leap
|
||||
And chase the frothy bubbles,
|
||||
While the world is full of troubles
|
||||
And anxious in its sleep.
|
||||
Come away, O human child!
|
||||
To the waters and the wild
|
||||
With a faery, 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 faery, hand in hand,
|
||||
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
|
||||
|
||||
Away with us he's going,
|
||||
The solemn-eyed:
|
||||
He'll hear no more the lowing
|
||||
Of the calves on the warm hillside
|
||||
Or the kettle on the hob
|
||||
Sing peace into his breast,
|
||||
Or see the brown mice bob
|
||||
Round and round the oatmeal chest.
|
||||
For he comes, the human child,
|
||||
To the waters and the wild
|
||||
With a faery, hand in hand,
|
||||
For the world's more full of weeping than he can understand.
