Innisfree Lyrics - Singles - Clandestine

(W.B. Yeats/J. Hamel) 

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 live alone in the bee-loud glade. 

And I shall have some peace there, 

For peace comes dropping slow, 

Dropping from the veils of morning, 

To where the cricket sings. 

And midnight's all a-glimmer 

And noon a purple glow 

And evening's 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 standing on the roadway, 

Or on the pavements gray, 

I hear it in the deep heart's core.
