    “I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
    And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:

    And live alone in the bee-loud glade.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    So ferry me across the water,
    Do, boatman, do!”

    Be they black or blue,”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    “Uncle Ben’s brass bullet-mould
    And powder horn, and Major Bogan’s face
    Above the fire, in the half-light, plainly said
    There’s naught to kill but the animated dead;”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
