    The poet expresses his desire to escape from city life and build a small cabin on the peaceful Isle of Innisfree, where he can live alone amid nine bean rows and a bee hive, listening to the sounds of crickets and birds. He is constantly drawn to Innisfree, hearing the lake's gentle lapping in his heart, and resolves to leave the grey pavement behind to arise and go now to the island's glimmering peace.

    The Lake Isle of Innisfree

    BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnights all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnets wings. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep hearts core.
