This is Yeats. Here's the whole thing. I love this poem.
The Stolen Child
By W.B.Yeats
Where dips the rocky highland
Sleuth Wood in the Lake,
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, oh human child!
To the waters and the wild
With the faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than
you can understand.
Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim grey sands with light,
Far off by 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,
While the world is full of troubles
And is anxious in its sleep.
Come away, oh human child!
To the waters and the wild
With faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping
than you can understand.
Where the wandering water gushes
From the pool 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.
Come away, oh human child!
To the waters and the wild
With the faery hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping
Than we can understand.
Away with us he is going,
The solemn-eyed;
He'll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace into 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 the faery,hand and hand,
From a world more full of weeping
Than he can understand.

definitely a love it or hate it kind of film personally, I think it's a masterpiece, but I've never cried so much during and after a film in my life. I'd convinced myself it couldn't be quite that sad, and I rewatched part of it on TV recently. Nope, it's still the saddest movie I've ever seen. few movies do a better job exploring the fear of abandonment and neglect by your parents, or anyone else you love. the acting was pitch perfect, imo. 10/10
