    Verse 1
    (WB 
    Yeat
    s) 

    Come away, 
    human 
    child 

    to 
    the 
    water 

    Come 
    away, 
    human 
    child 

    to 
    the 
    water 
    and 
    the wild 

    With a 
    fairy, 
    hand 
    in 
    hand 

    for the 
    world's 
    more 
    full 
    of 
    weeping 

    than 
    you 
    can 
    understand 

    Where 
    Verse 2
    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 
    fairy 
    vats 

    Full 
    of 
    berries 

    and 
    of 
    reddest 
    stolen 
    cher
    ries 

    Verse 3
    Come 
    away, 
    human 
    child 

    to 
    the 
    water 

    Come 
    away, 
    human 
    child 

    to 
    the 
    water 
    and 
    the wild 

    With a 
    fairy, 
    hand 
    in 
    hand 

    for the 
    world's 
    more 
    full 
    of 
    weeping 

    than 
    you can 
    un
    derstand 

    Verse 4
    Where 
    the 
    wave 
    of moonlight 
    glosses 

    the dim 
    gray 
    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 

    Verse 5
    Come 
    away, 
    human 
    child 

    to 
    the 
    water 

    Come 
    away, 
    human 
    child 

    to 
    the 
    water 
    and 
    the wild 

    With a 
    fairy, 
    hand in 
    hand 

    for the 
    world's 
    more 
    full 
    of 
    weeping 

    than 
    you can 
    understand 

    Verse 6
    Where 
    the wan
    dering 
    water 
    gushes 

    from 
    the 
    hills 
    above 
    Glen- 
    Car 

    In 
    pools 
    among 
    the rushes 

    the scarce 
    could 
    bathe 
    a 
    star 

    We 
    seek 
    for 
    slumbering 
    trout 

    and whispering 
    in 
    their ears 

    We 
    give them 
    unquiet 
    dreams; 

    leaning 
    softly 
    out 

    From 
    ferns 
    that 
    drop 
    their 
    tears 

    over 
    the young 
    streams 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 7
    Away 
    with 
    us 
    he's 
    going 

    the solemn- 
    eyed: 

    He'll 
    hear 
    no more 
    the low
    ing 

    of the 
    calves 
    on 
    the warm 

    hillside; 

    Or the kettle 
    on 
    the hob 

    sing 
    peace 
    into 
    his 
    breast 

    Or see 
    the 
    brown 
    mi

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
