The Lake Isle of Innisfree By William Butler Yeats

from Rebecca's Reading Room · host Rebecca Budd

S2 E8:The Lake Isle of Innisfree BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS 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. Recitation and Photography by Rebeca Budd  Music by Jo Wandrini “Governor Of The North” Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/VNVXvmgNiu/ Location Charleson Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
