To the water and the wild
For the world's

more full of

weeping than you

can understand
0f Sleuth Wood in the lake

There lies a leafy island

Where flapping herons wake

The drowsy water ratx
There lies a leafy island

Where flapping herons wake

The drowsy water rats
There we've hid our faery vats
Full of berries
And of reddest stolen cherries
Come away, human child, to the water
Come away, human child

To the water and the wild
For the world's more full of
weeping than you can understand
Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim gray sands with light
Far off by furthest Rosses
Where the wave of moonlight glosses

The dim gray sands with light
Far off by furthest Rosses
While the world is full of troubles
And is anxious in its sleep
Come away, human child

To the water
Come away, human child

To the water and the wild
For the world's more full of
weeping than you can understand
Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car

In pools among the rushes
leaning softly out from ferns that drop

their tears over the young streams
INSTRUMENTAL
He'll hear no more the lowing

0fthe calves on the warm hillsida
Or the kettle on the hob

Sing peace into his breast
0fthe calves on the warm hillsidq

Or the kettle on the hob

Sing peace into his breast
Or the kettle on the hob

Sing peace into his breast
Around and around the oatmeal-chest
For he comes, the human child
To the water
He comes, the human child

To the water and the wild
He comes. the human child

To the water and the wild
With afaery, hand in hand
From a world more full of
weeping than he can understand
Human child

Human child

With afaery, hand in hand
From aworld

more full of weeping

than he can
understand...
Than he can

understand...
