William butler yeats, the lake isle of innisfree. 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 honey-bee; 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, I will arise and go now, for always night and day.
