My First English Poem

Today, I submitted an assignment for my Introduction to Literature course. It is a poem, which I write using another poem, Lake Isle of Innesfree, as template.

The template:

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

And a small cabin built 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 the cricket sings;

There midnight’s all a glimmer, and a noon a purple glow,

An evening full of the linner’s wings

I will arise and go now, for always night and day

I hear the lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;

While I stand on the roadway, or on pavements gray,

I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

My poem:

I will arise and go now, and go to somewhere,

And alluring sky see there, the blue spotted white;

All my sorrow will I heal there, no scar stay,

And live happily in a hut surrounded by daisy.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes

dropping slow

Dropping from waken up to the end of the day;

There midnight’s decorated stars, and a noon a white spot show,

An evening glimmered with fire-fly

I will arise and go now, for always night and day

I hear the rustling of daisy when wind blows with care;

While I stand here, or anywhere under unpleasant sky,

I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
