So specific, so measured, so full of peace and longing: "Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,<br />And live alone in the bee-loud glade." Thank you for reminding me that some brilliances do not fade no matter how often you glance upon them.Heidi Mordhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16496427007514895950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-3920176123174232142022-06-04T06:04:53.692-05:002022-06-04T06:04:53.692-05:00This poem makes my breathing slow and my heart rat...This poem makes my breathing slow and my heart rate go down.

I think everyone is especially intent on the word peace lately. "And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow." Yeats is such a beautiful writer. His last line is nurturing.

My gardens are blooming, our garage-moving sale is underway, and we are seeing beautiful sunsets, as usual at this time of year. Soon, we'll be at our cabin on the lake!

The poem you have chosen to share contains a line of gentle alliteration- 'I hear the lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore. It transports me back to Ireland. I also enjoyed his celebration of various times of the day. Good choice.
