Where Flapping Herons Wake

Wood panel, rice paper, charcoal, acrylic, conte crayon, pastel and cut paper

Inspired by "The Stolen Child" by W.B. Yeats

Where dips the rocky highland

Of 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 berrys

And of reddest stolen cherries.

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.
