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 day

I 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.

我將动身，前往茵尼斯弗利岛，

盖一间小屋，只需泥土柳条;

种几垄豆子，做一个蜂巢，

一人独处，静听群蜂吵闹。

我来品尝宁静，宁静的脚步轻轻悄悄，

从晨曦的薄纱到蟋蟀的欢叫;

傍晚时分展翅的红雀铺天盖地，

半夜微光闪烁，正午紫霞辉耀。

我将动身，因为日日夜夜，分分秒秒，

我总能听见湖水拍岸的浪涛;

无论站在宽阔的马路还是灰暗的便道，

这涛声总在我心灵深处萦绕。
