slide6. About William Butler Yeats
William Butler Yeats, more commonly known as, W.B. Yeats, was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1865. He was educated in London and was an instrumental figure in the defining years of the 19th century. Yeats wrote both poetry and plays, his early plays were focused mainly on interpreting Irish legends and his own personal spiritual beliefs. Later in his life, after 1910, his work took a turn, becoming more experimental and poetical. He became to create work that presented his anti-Nationalist views, and he was appointed to the Irish Senate in 1922. He would win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923. During the last 16 years of his life, from 1923-1939, Yeats published a number of volumes of poetry, containing what is now considered his best work.
During the decade in which Yeats wrote, The Lake Isle of Innisfree, Ireland was in the midst of significant financial struggles. It is possible that Yeats cast himself as the speaker in this poem; considering that Innisfree is an actual place, on Lough Gill in County Sligo, Western Ireland, and that when he was a boy Yeats’ family visited County Sligo.<br>
slide9. Summary of Poem
The speaker in The Lake Isle of Innisfree spends most of the poem deep inside a daydream. He speaks of Innisfree in an idealistic way, describing the almost magical qualities of the different times of day, and the unbroken solitude and peace he will achieve once he goes. The speaker within this piece relates peace directly to nature and throughout the poem. It is revealed by the end that the speaker dreams so intently about reaching Innisfree because he lives in environment that does not contain the natural elements that are critical to his happiness. Stanza-1
In the first stanza, the poet expresses his deep desire to go to the lake isle of Innisfree. He wants to settle there permanently. Here the poet is so much impressed with the natural beauty of the lake country of Innisfree. He says that he will go there and will build a small hut to stay there. He will build it with clay and twigs. He will also grow beans there in rows and will habitat bees. Honey bees will fill the field of green grass with their humming sound. They will fill the atmosphere with sweet music. Thus the poet wants to live in the atmosphere of natural objects. He wants to enjoy himself in the lap of nature. Because the poet is living in the city life of artificiality. So now he wants to stay away from this materialistic world. Here the poet expresses his love for nature.
Stanza-2
Here the poet is very much impressed with the beauty of nature where the sun shines brightly and birds sing sweet songs. The atmosphere is filled with spiritual peace. The poet wants to live in the natural atmosphere forever and wants to enjoy every moment of this life.

The poet says that when he reaches there he will get mental peace there. The poet says that the atmosphere of that place is filled with natural objects. It looks very beautiful. The time of just before dawn looks very beautiful.The mist and fog just before sunrise look very beautiful and give him spiritual and mental peace. That time seems to the poet divine time because the atmosphere is very peaceful. The birds are singing sweet songs here and there and fill the atmosphere with their melodious music. The chirping of the small insects also makes the atmosphere happy. At noon, The sun shines brightly and throws his rays on the various objects of nature. The flowers of many colours look very beautiful. The valley is filled with the colourful flowers and sweet songs of birds. In the evening, The linnets sing sweet songs and fly here and there. (Linnet is a small bird that sings sweetly). Here in the natural atmosphere, Everybody seems happy. They all enjoy in the lap of nature. This is the reason that the poet wants to settle there forever.
Stanza-3
In this stanza, the poet wants to go away from the artificial life of the city. He is living in the age of materialism. Therefore he again wants to go back to the lake isle of Innisfree to get peace. City life is full of tensions and artificiality. So he wants to go away from this type of life. He wants to live a peaceful life in the lap of nature. His mind is still full of memories of the lake isle of Innisfree. He remembers the murmuring sound of the lake and chirping of birds. Whenever he stands alone on the roadside or on the footpath, the memory of the lake fills his heart with happiness and peace. He feels a spiritual peace in his heart.

slide14. Analysis It is a pastoral lyric written by William Butler Yeats. It is written in 1888 and published in 1890. It is a poem of 12 lines. In this poem, the poet has a strong desire to go to the lake isle of Innisfree. He wants to get spiritual peace there. Although the poem is simple yet it gives a deep idea of spiritual peace. In this poem, the poet expresses his deep desire to go to the lake of the isle of Innisfree. he wants to settle there forever. Innisfree is the name of the lake country in Sligo.
This country is full of natural objects like beautiful scenery, birds, flowers, and honeybees, insects. The poet wants to go there for mental peace. The poet has become tired of materialism. Now he wants to go away from it. He wants to go in the lap of nature where he may get peace and joy. The poet is very much impressed with the natural atmosphere of Innisfree that he wants to settle there permanently. The poem has three Quatrains. Thus it is a poem of 12 lines The poet declares that he will arise and go to Innisfree, where he will build a small cabin “of clay and wattles made.” There, he will have nine bean-rows and a beehive, and live alone in the glade loud with the sound of bees (“the bee-loud glade”). He says that he will have peace there, for peace drops from “the veils of morning to where the cricket sings.” Midnight there is a glimmer, and noon is a purple glow, and evening is full of linnet’s wings. He declares again that he will arise and go, for always, night and day, he hears the lake water lapping “with low sounds by the shore.” While he stands in the city, “on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,” he hears the sound within himself, “in the deep heart’s core.”
Form
“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. Formally, this poem is somewhat unusual for Yeats: he rarely worked with hexameter, and every rhyme in the poem is a full rhyme; there is no sign of the half-rhymes Yeats often prefers in his later work.
Written in 1888, The Lake Isle of Innisfree is one of William Butler Yeats’ most celebrated poems. The poem consists of 12 lines, separated into three quatrains, and an abab cdcd efef rhyme scheme.
Commentary
“The Lake Isle of Innisfree,” published in Yeats’s second book of poems, 1893’s The Rose, is one of his first great poems, and one of his most enduring. The tranquil, hypnotic hexameters recreate the rhythmic pulse of the tide. The simple imagery of the quiet life the speaker longs to lead, as he enumerates each of its qualities, lulls the reader into his idyllic fantasy, until the penultimate line jolts the speaker—and the reader—back into the reality of his drab urban existence: “While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey.” The final line—“I hear it in the deep heart’s core”—is a crucial statement for Yeats, not only in this poem but also in his career as a whole. The implication that the truths of the “deep heart’s core” are essential to life is one that would preoccupy Yeats for the rest of his career as a poet; the struggle to remain true to the deep heart’s core may be thought of as Yeats’s primary undertaking as a poet.<br>
slide15. The speaker in the poem dreams of moving to a rural environment, ready to leave the roads and pavements of urban life. The speaker views nature as a form of escapism, fantasizing about the lake and animals of a place that is the opposite of where he currently is. This poem is about a man, overwhelmed with urban life, who dreams of going back to nature in order to find some peace. The man will build a small cabin there (line 2) and grow some beans (line 4). He shall live alone (line 6) and "shall have some peace there" (line 7). The sounds and sights of nature (second stanza) will be a comfort to him in comparison to the harsh pavement of the city (third stanza).
This poem was written at the end of the 19th century, when cities were growing quickly and nature was being abandoned for progress. The poem emphasizes the ability of nature to restore the human spirit. The poet has not literally gone to Innisfree, however. In the end, although he hears the "water lapping with low sounds by the/shore", he is actually standing "on the roadway." The contrast always readers to better understand the importance of nature, because the speaker is imagining it with rich detail even though he is far away from it. The Actual Lake Isle of Innisfree
The Lake Isle of Innisfree is a real place near the coast of Ireland. It is not inhabited and is on Lough Gill, a lake in County Sligo. The lake itself is approximately five and a half miles in length and one and a half miles wide, so it is very small. Yeats would go to Sligo as a child on vacations, so it was a good memory for him. It is a quiet place. Think of somewhere you know and love, a woodsy place where you can hear the frogs and birds, a place to get away. That might be your Innisfree. "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" is a twelve-line poem composed of three quatrains written by William Butler Yeats in 1888 and first published in the National Observer in 1890. It was reprinted in The Countess Kathleen and Various Legends and Lyrics in 1892 and as an illustrated Cuala Press Broadside in 1932.
"The Lake Isle of Innisfree" exemplifies the style of the Celtic Revival: it is an attempt to create a form of poetry that was Irish in origin rather than one that adhered to the standards set by English poets and critics. It received critical acclaim in the United Kingdom and France.<br>
