Detailed explanation-1: -The Lake Isle of Innisfree by William Butler Yeats.
Detailed explanation-2: -The poet wants to move from the city space to the island named Innisfree. He longs to return to the small home build of clay that is fenced using sticks. He wishes to live in that open forest area among the bees and nature. He is longing for solitude.
Detailed explanation-3: -“The Lake Isle of Innisfree” was inspired by the island where Yeats spent his childhood summers. Feeling homesick while living in London, he was reminded of the lake by a fountain in a shop window. This poem was the result.
Detailed explanation-4: -In this poem, the poet wants to go to Innisfree where he can live freely in his cabin. However, the present situation of the poet is just the opposite of what he wants. Overall, in the poem, the poet wants peace which according to him, can only find it near the lake of Innisfree.
Detailed explanation-5: -“The Lake Isle of Innisfree” is written mostly in hexameter, with six stresses in each line, in a loosely iambic pattern. The last line of each four-line stanza shortens the line to tetrameter, with only four stresses: “And live alone in the bee-loud glade.” Each of the three stanzas has the same ABAB rhyme scheme.
