<poem> | |||
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 gray, | |||
I hear it in the deep heart's core. | |||

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 gray,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
