Re-post of "Innisfree" by Judy Collins



   Maybe it's because my adjunct class starts tomorrow night, completing the back to school and everything else cycle, but I feel the need for some peace. Actually everything is going well, but I thought of "Innisfree", The Yeats poem that composer-musician-actor Hamilton Camp
 ( http://hamiltoncamp.com/  ) set to music,.

    I remember Camp somewhat from back in the day,learned to like Yeats, and was enthralled by Judy Collins. We saw her in concert in Wilkes-Barre, PA, one December around the year 2000 in December.
