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