#NaPodPoMo Reading Poetry: “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” 1/30

You hear a recording of  W B Yeats reading his most popular poem.
You hear Paul O’Mahony reading the poem twice.

“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.
