Fairy Of Water歌詞

Loreena McKennitt - Stolen Child

Lyrics by W.B. Yeats

music by Loreena McKennitt



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 fairy vats

Full of berries

And of reddest stolen cherries.



Come away oh 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 wave of moonlight glosses

The dim grey sands with light

By far off 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 oh human child

To the waters and the wild
