More Christ | W.B. Yeats: The Stolen Child and Glencar Waterfall in Ireland (Read by Tom O'Bedlam) Drone Footage @MoreChrist | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 31 minutes ago.
You are welcome to check out some drone footage from our recent family trip to Glencar Waterfall in County Leitrim. For this video, I have juxtaposed a piece of our recording with W.B Yeats's poem, The Stolen Child.
This poem was inspired in part by Glencar Waterfall and the location is mentioned explicitly in the poem.

The Stolen Child also makes reference to faeries and the lore around these otherworldly creatures, popular throughout Ireland. The romantic poet even collected many of these tales and released them in a book, which I have added to the thumbnail.

“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.”

― William Butler Yeats, The Land of Heart's Desire
