The Stolen Child, by William Butler Yeats

Come away, O 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.

A fairy takes a little boy away from the troubles of the world and into a land of eternal fantasy and delight- but is there an undertone of menace in the fairy’s tempting words?
