Isle of Inisfree

Lake Isle of Innisfree

I pass this beautiful Island every day while training.

 

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 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.
