| | Stolen Child Lyrics Artist(Band):Loreena McKennitt
Of sleuth wood in the lake There lies a leafy island Where flapping herons wake The drowsy water rats There we've hid our fairy vats Full of berries And of reddest stolen cherries. CHORUS Come away oh human child To the waters and the wild With a faery hand in hand For the world's more full of weeping Than he can understand Where the wave of moonlight glosses The dim grey sands with light By far off furthest rosses We foot it all the night Weaving olden dances Mingling hands and mingling glances Till the moon has taken flight To and fro we leap And chase the frothy bubbles Whilst the world is full of troubles And is anxious in its sleep. CHORUS Where the wandering water gushes From the hills above glen car In pools among the rushes That scarce could bathe a star We seek for slumbering trout And whispering in their ears Give them unquiet dreams Leaning softly out From ferns that drop their tears Over the young streams CHORUS Away with us he's going The solemned eyed He'll hear no more the lowing Of the calves on the warm hillside Or the kettle on the hob Sing peace unto his breast Or see the brown mice bob Round and round the oatmeal chest. For he comes, the 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.

Review about Stolen Child Rigel | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/25/09 From Wikipedia: "McKennitt was born in Morden, Manitoba of Irish and Scottish descent to parents Jack and Irene McKennitt (a livestock dealer and a nurse)." This is a beautiful song, almost magical. I love how she can always find the right tune for poetry written by others. Wonderful! | Reviewer: Ninny | 7/16/08 This is such a wonderful song! Transports me to another world every time. But Loreena is not Irish, she is Canadian and followed the routes of the Celts from Ireland down to Turkey. I think she has Scottish or Irish ancestors, but I am not sure which. AWSOME | Reviewer: kitty | 5/22/07 Thanks alot for putting the lyrics up I needed them!! Plus I love Loreena McKennitt.
