5. POems WHERE dips the rocky highland Come away, O human child!
Far off by furthest Rosses
While the world is full of troubles
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake,
To the waters and the wild
We foot it all the night,
And anxious in its sleep.
There lies a leafy island
With a faery, hand in hand,
Weaving olden dances
Where flapping herons wake
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
Mingling hands and mingling glances
The drowsy water rats;
Till the moon has taken flight;
There we've hid our faery vats,
Where the wave of moonlight glosses
To and fro we leap
Full of berrys
And chase the frothy bubbles,
And of reddest stolen cherries.
The dim gray sands with light,
