From Yeats' "The Stolen Child"

Used to have this refrain on a calendar (or something else I picked up in Ireland). Probably never read the poem in its entirety, but I can always remember (half-remember) this: 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.
