    The Lake Isle of Innisfree – William Butler Yeats Original Text: “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
