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.

W.b. Yeats

William Wordsworth’s poem, "The Faeries" describes the world as a place of wonder and beauty. The poet asks the faeries to take him to a place where he can be free. He asks them to take him out of the dreary world that is dull and grey. He wants to leave behind his body and travel with the faeries.

He wants to experience all that faery's have to offer. The poem ends by saying that, "I would dance upon the mountains like a flame."
