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