Context:
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 berriesAnd of reddest stolen cherries.
Come away, O human child!To the waters and the wildWith a faery, hand in hand.For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
