I hunger for things I've never known
And thirst for liquor never brewed
I dream of life in lion's dens
In spiderwebs and snake pits too
I wish to fly on dragon wings
And sing the song the siren sings
I wish to have serpents for hair
A Fury's whip, a Gorgon's stare
I wish for seaweed in my tail
Or a red cap to keep me hale
But I am just a mortal child
With neither water nor wild
There is no dragonfire for me
Until the Devil sets me free
And thirst for liquor never brewed
I dream of life in lion's dens
In spiderwebs and snake pits too
I wish to fly on dragon wings
And sing the song the siren sings
I wish to have serpents for hair
A Fury's whip, a Gorgon's stare
I wish for seaweed in my tail
Or a red cap to keep me hale
But I am just a mortal child
With neither water nor wild
There is no dragonfire for me
Until the Devil sets me free

Water and wild sentence of this charming reminds me of William Yeat's "Stolen child".I don't recognize others.It sounds to me as if child wishes to be changeling.
