“The Lake Isle of Innisfree ” poem by WB yeats. TurfPic humbly visualised by his poem – My Mom’s favourite…
Innisfree is on Lough Gill in co Sligo along the Wild Atlantic Way, near where she and my Father came from. Its also one of my favourite poems… how many know of it?
“The Lake Island 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 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.
By WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
.
Innisfree is an uninhabited island within Lough Gill, in Ireland, near which Yeats spent his summers as a child. Yeats describes the inspiration for the poem coming from a “sudden” memory of his childhood while walking down Fleet Street in London in 1888.
