Summary Of The Lake Isle of Innisfree
The poem expresses the poet’s longing for peace and tranquility, which he associates with the natural beauty of Innisfree, a small island in Ireland. Yeats describes his desire to escape the noise and chaos of urban life and live in a simple cabin surrounded by nature. He imagines growing beans, keeping bees, and enjoying the serene sounds of the lake and the singing of crickets. The poet’s yearning for this idyllic life is so strong that he can hear the lake’s gentle lapping even while standing on the city’s grey pavements.
