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 the water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray, I hear it in the deep heart's core.

1. I will arise and retire... |
|
and dwell upon those wonderful words.
Did you compose them?

Hello, I must be going
by Groucho Marx
Hello, I must be going. I cannot stay, I came to say I must be going. I'm glad I came but just the same I must be going.
(chorus) For my sake you must stay, for if you go away, you'll spoil this party I am throwing.
I'll stay a week or two, I'll stay the summer through, but I am telling you, I must be going.

Copycat mockery or no, you chose some nice words to post.

9. My most favorite poem ever! I used to recite it to myself when |
|
jammed in on the stinking Boston "T" on the way to work. My father named my cabin up here in NH "Innisfree" and yesterday as I was weeding my garden and checking my bush beans the "nine bean rows" came to my mind. There is an Innisfree in Ireland also a Coole where Yeats wrote "The Wild Swans of Coole". Wonderful places, wonderful poem!
