| Description: |
a soft, sweet dream of the past....or perhaps the future?

| Notes: |
This is a music setting of one of my favorite WB Yeats poems. I put it together when I was living in a big city for the first time in my adult life. I am grateful to be back in the country again!

| 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 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
--WB Yeats
