The Lake Isle of Innisfree :: William Butler Yeats
I will arise and go now, and go to
Innisfree,
And a small cabin built there, of
clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there,
a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there,
for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning
to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer,
and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's
wings..
I will arise and go now, for always
night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low
sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or
on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
