Faeries

'They stole little Bridget for seven years long;
When she came down again her friends were all gone.
They took her lightly back, between the night and morrow;
They thought that she was fast asleep, but she was dead with sorrow.
They have kept her ever since deep within the lake,
On a bed of flag-leaves, watching till she wake.'

When the 19th century Anglo-Irish poet Richard Allingham wrote his poem The Fairies, he was replicating a belief about supernatural figures who steal children that stretched back to ancient Persian myths that date from 3000 BC.
