Lyrics

[00:16.00] Where dips the rocky highland
[00:20.00] Of Sleuth Wood in the lake
[00:24.00] There lies a leafy island
[00:28.00] Where flapping herons wake
[00:32.00] The drowsy water rats
[00:36.30] There we've hid our fairy mats
[00:40.00] Full of berries
[00:43.30] And of reddest stole cherries
[00:48.00] Come away, O human child
[00:52.00] To the waters and the wild
[00:56.30] With a fairy, hand in hand
[01:00.00] For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand
[01:09.30] Where the wandering water gushes
[01:14.00] From the hills above glen-Car
[01:18.00] In pools among the rushes
[01:21.30] That scarce could bathe a star
[01:25.30] We seek for slumbering trout
[01:30.00] And whispering in their ears
[01:34.00] Give them unquiet dreams
[01:37.30] From ferns that drop their tears
[01:42.00] Come away, O human child
[01:46.00] To the waters and the wild
[01:49.30] With a fairy, hand in hand
[01:53.00] For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand
[02:03.00] Away with us he's going
[02:07.00] The solemn eyed
[02:11.00] He'll no more hear the lowing
[02:15.00] Of the cows on the warm hillside
[02:18.30] For he comes, the human child
[02:23.00] To the waters and the wild
[02:27.00] With a fairy, hand in hand
[02:30.30] For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand
