Innisfree by W B Yeats

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 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.
 
[QUOTE 3593774, member: 259"]My (Irish) Mother in Law phoned my wife to say "don't bother sending me any flowers for mother's day this year - I'd prefer a bottle of whiskey" :cheers:[/QUOTE]
Nice to see the 'preference' runs through your extended family too, Mort. Do you think there's any left? Three days is a long time - she must be down to the 'ey' by now.
Nice to read of true Irishmen being 'innessfree on a day like today. Best to have a fair draught of this instead..."yumtus" I think is the word used on the 'Beer' thread. I couldn't be sure to be sure, but I'll drink another anyway...
