Detailed explanation-1: -i These words bring the image of buzzing bees to our minds. ii These words bring up the image of linnets flying across an evening sky. iii These words evoke not only the image but also the soft sound of a lakes water washing the shore.
Detailed explanation-2: -Complete answer: ii) The phrase ‘evening full of the linnet’s wing’ refers to the sky filled with the fluttering and flying linnets (a type of bird). The poet describes how the course of the day goes by and describes how the evening in Innisfree looks like.
Detailed explanation-3: -A linnet is a kind of bird that’s like a finch. In other words, it’s pretty small.
