WITH AN AUTOGRAPH QUOTATION FROM “THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE” ON FRONT ENDPAPER, in a variant version. Yeats appear to recall the poem from memory here, with a correction in the first line:

“I will arise & go now – ‘and go to Innisfree’ – (crossed out) for always night & day. I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore. As I stand on the roadway or on the pavement gray. I hear it in the deep hearts core.
W.B. Yeats/ July 11 1905″

Stories of Red Hanrahan contains the first appearance of the author’s poem, later known as “The Song of the Wandering Aengus”, here as “Hanrahan’s Vision”.
