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

@kaysworld1 thanks so much for all the #Favoritepoetswap gifts - I'm looking forward to reading them whilst listening to the cd! I've got to send some bloods off tomorrow to my hospital so will send your package at the same time! Sorry about the blurry quality of the photo.

LazyDays Hope all is well. What a great package! 6y

Prompt: Pity

Yeats poems are always cryptic.

St. Patrick‘s Day seemed like an appropriate time to share one of my favourite poems by my very favourite poet.☘️

Had I The Heavens embroidered cloths

Enrought with golden & silver light
The Blue & the dim & the dark cloths Of night
& Light & The half Light
I would spread the cloths under your feet
But I being poor have only my dreams
I have spread my dreams under your feet
Tread softly , because you tread on my dreams “
W B Yeats.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world...
