the stolen child

• william butler yeats'in etkileyici bir siiri olmasinin yanisira ayni zamanda siirin loreena mckennitt tarafindan bestelenmis ve seslendirilmis, insani huzunlendiren, siirin tum etkileyiciligini tasiyan nefis sarki..
  siirin sozleri soyledir:
  
  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 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
  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
  whilst the world is full of troubles
  and is anxious in its sleep.
  come away oh 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 oh 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 solemned eyed
  he'll hear no more the lowing
  of the calves on the warm hillside
  or the kettle on the hob
  sing peace unto 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.
