I will arise and go now ...
Ardmore point near us is a good place to watch the sun go down and have a gentle evening stroll.The sunset was beautiful over the water.
After the rainy days it was lovely to be outside and appreciate the day.
Remembering this poem by WB Yeats tonight -
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.
