Digital Art - Done with Coral Painter
Inspired by the poem by William Butler Yeats - The Stolen Child
"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.
Away with us she's going
The solemn eyed
She'll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside
Nor the kettle on the hob
Sing peace unto her breast
Nor see the brown mice bob
Round and round the oatmeal chest
For she comes, the human child
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping than she can understand." |
