I will arise and go now,
for always night and day
I hear the 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.
W.B. Yeats
[Irish writer and statesman (1865-1939)]

CITATION Irish Blessings
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, too, love this poem. (another stanza from Yeats’ Lake Isle of Innisfree)
Oh I like that quote!!! Thanks for sharing!:-)
