lyrics

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 dips the rocky highland
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake
There lies a leafy island
Where the flapping heron wakes
Where she’ll never feel the rubble’s kiss
Upon her shoeless feet
Or see the beauty of a winter’s night
While sleeping on the street

Where the wave of moonlight glosses
All the dim grey sands with light
Oh we’ll weave our olden dances
‘Til the moon has taken flight
Where she’ll never feel the tight embrace
Of hunger and of shame
As she queues and waits for handouts
Not a penny to her name

Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glencar
In the pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star
Where she'll never hear the greeting
From the muzzle of a gun
Or see the blossom of explosions
As the dust obscures the sun
