Detailed explanation-1: -The isle of Innisfree stands for unadulterated natural beauty. A visit to Innisfree gives immense joy, pleasure and peace to the poet. The sounds of honeybees, crickets and the lake water lapping by the shore tempt him to go there again and again.
Detailed explanation-2: -iii) ‘Lake water lapping with low sounds’: The waters and waves of the lake hit the shore of the island and make a pleasant and calming sound that the poet seems to enjoy a lot and is reminiscent of. These sounds suggest the raw natural presence of Innisfree and the poet’s connection to it.
Detailed explanation-3: -The poet wishes to live at such a beautiful and peaceful place. Yes, the poet misses the place of his boyhood days a lot. He can hear the sound of the lake water washing the shore in his heart’s core, even when he is away from Innisfree.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ans. In the morning, the poet will hear the song of the cricket. He will have the opportunity to enjoy the purple glow of the noon.
