The Stolen Child
(our adaptation of the famous poem by W.B. Yeats)

 

 

Come away, oh human child

To the waters and the wild

Come away, oh human child

With a fairy hand in hand

For the world's more full of weeping

Than you'll understand

Come away, oh human child

To the woods and waters wild

 

 

William Buttler Yeats
“ If I can be sincere, and make my language natural, without becoming discursive, like a novelist… I shall, if good luck or bad luck make my life interesting, be a great poet; for it will be no longer a matter of literature at all.”Yeats
