THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE by W B Yeats
I WILL arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
Rhyme Scheme 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. a b a b The rhyme scheme is ‘ab, ab.’
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
Rhyme Scheme 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. a b a b
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 gray, I hear it in the deep heart's core.
