Thread Name: Origins: Isle of Innisfree (Richard Farrelly)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: ISLE OF INNISFREE
Right. The Inisfree that Yeats wrote about had no connection with the more recent song. But don't anyone denegrate the beauty of Yeat's verse - which he wrote while he was in Liondon. Inisfree is a Gaelic for Island of Heather (Inis Fraoich).

Keep it swinging lads (and lassies) !
