	Bridge at Sylamore, and flooded cabin, below:

THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE

By William Butler Yeats

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 honeybee,
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 midnight's all a-glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear the water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
I hear it in the deep heart's core. 1892

Keith Pearson, below:(read more about Keith on our Songwriter’s Corner page!

“Keith Pearson, with his deadpan James Stewart drawl and hangdog expression, is a very funny man and accomplished 5-string banjo player. When I say that Keith is a very funny man, I mean to imply that he knows how to entertain a live audience. It is not intended to denigrate his standing as a writer, musician and recording artist. Keith scores high on all points and then some. The Pearson humour is evident on his self-penned 'Misery', one of five Keith Pearson originals appearing on the "Crazy Men, Cowboys & Kids" album, and his skills as a composer will come as a pleasant surprise to those who thought that British country music creativity was as dead as a dodo.” Bryan Chalker….Acoustic Music Magazine
