Innisfree

Anuna · Invocation [1997]

I will arise and go now

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree

I will arise and go now

And a small cabin built there, of clay and wattles made

I will arise and go now

Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee

I will arise and go now

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 linnet's wings



I will arise

I will arise and go now, for always night and day

I will arise and go now

I hear lake water lapping

With low sounds by the shore

I will arise and go now

While I stand on the roadway or on the pavements gray

I hear it in the deep, in the deep heart's core

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree
