Coole Lake, Ireland

The Lake Isle of Innisfree

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 gray,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.

William Butler Yeats

Ohhhhhh.......

You knew this is my favorite by Yeats, didn’t you?
It’s all so achingly beautiful.
Thank you, Conor.

*Good Morning Everyone*


The kitties and I are enjoying watching the rain

[MEG33]

I love this!

Yorkie and Amy have picked another good one by Willie, and Mama Bear a lovely illustration.

He didn’t need to be so sad, though, that they would fly away. I saw them on the river that goes through Galway town, in the west of Ireland. They have lived on that river since time began. It is their home. The swan is popular in Irish mythology as well.

Awwwww....... Is it raining hard?

Glencar Waterfall, Co. Sligo, Ireland The Stolen Child
WHERE dips the rocky highland
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake,
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water rats;
There we've hid our faery vats,
Full of berrys
And of reddest stolen cherries.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim gray sands with light,
Far off by furthest Rosses
We foot it all the night,
Weaving olden dances
Mingling hands and mingling glances
Till the moon has taken flight;
To and fro we leap
And chase the frothy bubbles,
While the world is full of troubles
And anxious in its sleep.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car,
In pools among the rushes
That scare could bathe a star,
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams;
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
Away with us he's going,
The solemn-eyed:
He'll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace into his breast,
Or see the brown mice bob
Round and round the oatmeal chest.
For he comes, the human child,
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than he can understand.


William Butler Yeats

Conor, that is a beautiful lake. Thank you.

Have you ever been to Ireland? I wanted to travel there but now my goal is to see all fifty (or is that 57?) states. Still need to see 13 more.

There are so many beautiful places in this wonderful country.

Have a Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

[ConorMacNessa]

I spent a month in Ireland many years ago - It is a beautiful country.

I’ve read several paperbacks where the setting was in Ireland and it sounded like a wonderful place to spend a summer.

Thank you for the lovely pictures and the great poems.

[MEG33]

[MEG33]

Not now..It did earlier..Now it is just a sprinkle..I went out to fill up the birdfeeder in it and it felt wonderful..We won’t hit 80 today.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Meg. Glad to hear that you got a little rain. We probably won’t get any until at least the end of the month.

Thank you for this beautiful swan graphic.

Hope you are having a Warm Feathery Day.
