To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.’ The Stolen Child, Yeats. 🖼 Rackham

To and fro we leap,
And chase the frothy bubbles,
While the world is full of troubles.
And is anxious in its sleep.
Come away! O, human child!
To the woods and waters wild,
With a fairy hand in hand,
For the world is more full of weeping than you can understand.
