Thinking about the need for an Innisfree right about now, so why not go to the source? It's a week past St. Patrick's Day, but William Butler Yeats is always in season! His voice reminds me of John J. McGuire, my ninth-grade English teacher, who did not have a musical lilt as far as I remember. Perhaps my class did not bring it out of him!
Someone finally posted Judy Collins' lovely sung version of this poem. We saw Judy years ago in a Christmas concert in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Enjoy this song
in your deep heart's core!
