B.A. Poetry 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree' By W.B. Yeats (1865 -1939)

       W. B. YEATS (1865-1939) 

"THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE" (1893) 

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 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.
