[00:34.75] |
Where dips the rocky highland |
[00:37.99] |
Of sleuth wood in the lake |
[00:41.30] |
There lies a leafy island |
[00:44.80] |
Where flapping herons wake |
[00:48.19] |
The drowsy water rats |
[00:51.25] |
There we've hid our fairy vats |
[00:55.21] |
Full of berries |
[00:58.21] |
And of reddest stolen cherries. |
[01:01.91] |
|
[01:02.71] |
Come away oh human child |
[01:06.43] |
To the waters and the wild |
[01:09.82] |
With a fairy hand in hand |
[01:13.22] |
For the world's more full of weeping |
[01:16.92] |
Than you can understand |
[01:20.83] |
|
[01:22.00] |
Where the wave of moonlight glosses |
[01:25.50] |
The dim grey sands with light |
[01:28.92] |
By far off furthest rosses |
[01:32.48] |
We foot it all the night |
[01:35.94] |
Weaving olden dances |
[01:39.16] |
Mingling hands and mingling glances |
[01:42.53] |
Till the moon has taken flight |
[01:46.12] |
To and fro we leap |
[01:49.47] |
And chase the frothy bubbles |
[01:52.56] |
While the world is full of troubles |
[01:56.02] |
And is anxious in its sleep. |
[02:00.85] |
|
[02:01.46] |
Come away oh human child |
[02:04.70] |
To the waters and the wild |
[02:08.09] |
With a fairy hand in hand |
[02:11.51] |
For the world's more full of weeping |
[02:15.14] |
Than you can understand |
[02:19.85] |
|
[02:33.28] |
Where the wandering water gushes |
[02:36.81] |
From the hills above glen car |
[02:40.14] |
In pools among the rushes |
[02:43.68] |
That scarce could bathe a star |
[02:47.13] |
We seek for slumbering trout |
[02:50.33] |
And whispering in their ears |
[02:54.09] |
Give them unquiet dreams |
[02:57.26] |
Leaning softly out |
[03:00.31] |
From ferns that drop their tears |
[03:04.15] |
Over the young streams |
[03:07.42] |
Come away oh human child |
[03:11.01] |
To the waters and the wild |
[03:14.36] |
With a fairy hand in hand |
[03:17.64] |
For the world's more full of weeping |
[03:21.24] |
Than you can understand |
[03:26.13] |
|
[03:40.39] |
Away with us he's going |
[03:43.92] |
The solemn-eyed |
[03:47.19] |
He'll hear no more the lowing |
[03:50.47] |
Of the calves on the warm hillside |
[03:53.92] |
Or the kettle on the hob |
[03:57.16] |
Sing peace into his breast |
[04:00.84] |
Or see the brown mice bob |
[04:04.04] |
Round and round the oatmeal chest. |
[04:06.96] |
|
[04:07.41] |
For he comes, the human child |
[04:10.70] |
To the waters and the wild |
[04:14.30] |
With a fairy hand in hand |
[04:17.39] |
For the world's more full of weeping |
[04:21.26] |
Than you can understand |
[04:26.40] |
|
[04:55.53] |
|
[05:01.87] |
