"And I shall have some Peace there..." - My favorite Poem

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow [...] I will arise and go now, for always night and day - William Butler Yeats, The Lake Isle of Innisfree

I long to go there... from "the deep heart's core".

Ever since I read this poem the first time in 2005 it has been my constant companion.

I recite it in my mind and it calms me very much.
