To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of
weeping than you understand.
W.B.Yeats
Oh so old!
Thousands of years,
thousands of years,
If all were told:
Give to these children,
new from the world,
Silence and love;
And the long dew-dropping
hours of the night,
And the stars above:
Give to these children,
new from the world,
Rest far from men.

anything better?
Tell us it then:
Us who are old, old and gay,
Oso old!
Thousands of years,
thousands of years,
If all were told.
of this dull world,
for I would ride with
you upon the wind
and dance upon the mountains
like a flame
W.B.Yeats

pieces and they all went
skipping about, and that was
the beginning of fairies.
