Innisfree is Yeats' "The Lake-Isle of Innisfree," and the cherry is
from Housman's "Loveliest of Trees." "The Rolling English Road" is
G.K. Chesterton, and Keats was the one who travelled in the realms of gold, in "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer." All these I knew without checking; I was an English major (as well as Latin) in college.
Milford Haven I did not know, but a friend says it's from Drayton; he wrote about Milford Haven, all right, but I can't find an echo of that
specific line. The only "give me your hands" I can find is from
Shakespeare, and I had to look that up.
