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.

~William Butler Yeats, "The Stolen Child"

Queen Anne's Lace, also called "Wild Carrot," is a common plant in dry fields, ditches, and open areas. It was introduced from Europe, and the carrots that we eat today were once cultivated from this plant.
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. ~William Butler Yeats, "The Stolen Child"
