Friends of Innisfree

Money raised by the Friends enables us to help some of our most vulnerable tenants with grants when no other funding is available. It also enables us to undertake the occasional capital project such as environmental improvements. We thank our Friends, as always:

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.

W B Yeats
