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 berries
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.

abookishbutterfly The first stanza from the poem by William Butler Yeats, based on an Irish myth. 6y
booklahoma @Butterflyamore Excellent choice! I always loved how the Waterboys incorporated a reading of this poem into their song of the same name: https://youtu.be/vOzbqY1ABwQ 6y
abookishbutterfly @booklahoma Awesome! Thank you for sharing! Keith Donohue wrote an amazing novel based on this poem and the changeling myth. If you are not already familiar with it, I recommend checking it out! 6y

booklahoma @Butterflyamore I was not familiar with Donohue's novel, so merrily I go stack adding again! 6y
BibliOphelia That novel is on my TBR, and @booklahoma, that Waterboys album is epic! I saw them perform the whole album in concert and it was amazing. 😍 6y
abookishbutterfly @booklahoma @BibliOphelia I really enjoyed the novel. I hope that you will, too! 6y
booklahoma @BibliOphelia You are so lucky! I have seen the Waterboys in concert but never for that whole album. I recently listened (again) to the entirety of the Fisherman's Box set on Apple Music. Took me several days to get through it but it was fascinating to me. 6y
BibliOphelia @booklahoma Such great stuff! 😍 It was my first time seeing them live, and I really hope to again. (edited) 6y
