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