Winner of 1923 Nobel Prize in literature Yeats memorial in Sligo Down by the Salley Gardens Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;She passed the salley gardens with?little snow?white feet, She bid me take love easy, as the leaves?grow on the tree; But I, being young and foolish, with?her would not agree. ? In a field by the river my love and I did stand, And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand. She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs; But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears. 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 midnights all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,And evening full of the linnets wings.I will arise and go now, for always night and dayI 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 hearts core. I will arise and go to my father. (Luke 15:18 of the New Testament) Thoreau’s Walden Or Life In The Woods Here is Thoreau’s Walden Pond, historic and current. He built a little cabin by this lake and planted beans just as Yeats wanted to. …… On a lone winter evening, when the frostHas wrought a silence, from the stove there shrillsThe Crickets song, in warmth increasing ever,And seems to one in drowsiness half lost,The Grasshoppers among some grassy hills.
