THE STOLEN CHILD
William Butler Yeats poem lyrics. Easy summary meaning. Selected sweat best popular poem for School and college student

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 faery, hand in hand,

 

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

 

Where the wave of moonlight glosses The dim grey 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 is 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

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 faery, hand in hand,

 

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

 

Where the wave of moonlight glosses The dim grey 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 is 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 to waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand,

 

For to 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,

 

From a world more full of weeping than you can understand.
