    Story Behind the Song
    this has been one of my favorite poems for many years. i think it expresses a yearning that many of us feel. the melody came to me when i decided to set the poem to music

    Lyrics
    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 honeybee
    and live alone
    in the bee-loud glade

    and i shall have some peace there
    for peace comes dropping slow
    dropping from the vales of the morning
    to where the cricket sings
    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
    when i stand on the roadway
    or on the pavement grey
    i hear it, hear it, hear it
    in my heart's deep core
