To the waters and the wild With afaery, hand in hand,  \nFor the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.  \nWhere the wave of moonlight glosses  \nThe dim grey sands with light, Far off by furthest Rosses We foot it all the night, Weaving olden dances,  \nMingling hands and mingling glances Till the moon has taken flight; To and fro we leap  \nAnd chase the frothy bubbles, While the world is full of troubles And is anxious in its sleep.  \nCome away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With afaery, hand in hand,  \nFor the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.  \nWhere the wandering water gushes From the hills above Glen-Car, In pools among the rushes  \nThat scarce could bathe a star, We seek for slumbering trout And whispering in their ears Give them unquiet dreams; Leaning softly out  \nFrom ferns that drop their tears Over the young streams.  \nCome away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With afaery, hand in hand,  \nFor the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.  \nAway with us he's going, The solemn-eyed:  \nHe'll hear no more the lowing Of the calves on the warm hillside Or the kettle on the hob  \nSing peace into his breast,  \nOr see the brown mice bob Round and round the oatmeal-chest.  \nFor he comes, the human child, To the waters and the wild  \nWith afaery, hand in hand, From a world more full of weeping  \nthan he can understand.","cbCainLKpxmk0lrs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainLKpxmk0lrs","pdf",26773,"English","# The Invitation\n## Faery Retreats and Stolen Delights\n# Moonlight, Dance, and Wandering Water","[{\"question\":\"What does the poem ask the human child to do?\",\"answer\":\"It urges the child to come away to waters and wild places, going “with afaery, hand in hand.”\"},{\"question\":\"How does the poem portray faery life?\",\"answer\":\"Faery life is shown as playful and enchanting—hidden vats of berries and cherries, moonlit movement, dances, bubbles, and whispering dreams for trout.\"},{\"question\":\"What contrast does the poem make between the world and the child?\",\"answer\":\"The poem emphasizes that the world contains more weeping than the child can understand, while the faery setting offers peace through nature, song, and rest.\"}]","The Stolen Child - read online free | PDF",1792387861]
