Lyrics:

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
