The Stolen Child

"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.

    Oh, gasp.....sad......



    Feeling the desire to escape is understandable, and to wish to save an innocence is wonderful, and I wish the real saving could be into a fantasy land. There is too much weeping, too much deception and cruelty, but once in faeryland, the return, psychologically, is so hard. For the literal interp- just sad- death. No return at all. Your pics of graveyards come to mind.
