FRIDAY FANTASY

"The Stolen Child" is a poem by William Butler Yeats




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 faery vats,
Full of berrys
And of reddest stolen cherries.
Come away, O 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 gray sands with light,
Far off by 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 anxious in its sleep.
Come away, O 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..........

Had already made this page for Sophie but thought it lends itself to the challenge as well..... Kit by Azur except for the trees from Grace, by Lindalou.

Wow - thanks so much, and for all the super comments, never thought I could win a challenge.

I'm twice pleased as I also took the photo of lovely Sophie, and in case you are wondering what she was looking at that so enchanted her ...... she was in a large garden at a holiday cottage, so all new with lots to explore and then a little pusscat wandered in and they were both fascinated with each other, he showing off his tricks and she trying to catch him. Well, there might have been fairies in amongst the grass and flowers too!
