THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREEBy William Butler Yeats

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;

Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee,

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 the water lapping with low sounds by the shore;

While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray, I hear it in the deep heart's core.
1892
