Come unto These Yellow Sands, is a 1842 painting by Richard Dadd and a 1985 radio play based on Richard Dadd's life, written by Angela Carter.
It is a reference to Ariel's Song from William Shakespeare's The Tempest
Come unto these yellow sands,
And then take hands:
Curtsied when you have, and kiss'd
The wild waves whist,
Foot it featly here and there;
And, sweet sprites, the burthen bear.
Hark, hark!
Bow-wow.
The watch-dogs bark.
Bow-wow.
Hark, hark! I hear
The strain of strutting chanticleer
Cry, Cock-a-diddle-dow.
