My days ...My life

By ElspethAnne

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.
