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.
