The Lake Isle of Innisfree Flashcards
He wants a small cabin there
And a small cabin build there
The cabin is made of clay and wattles
of clay and wattles
He wants rows of beans
Nine bean-rows
He wants a hive for bees
hive for the honey-bee
He wants to live alone with the bees
live alone in the bee-loud glade
It is peaceful and slow there
peace comes dropping slow
He describes the mists of the morning
veils of the morning
Theres a purple, dreamlike glow at noon and the night shimmers
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow
He’s going to go there now
I will arise and go now
He thinks about it all the time
for always night and day
He hears the water
I hear the water lapping
The reality - he is in a city
pavements grey
The desire is deep within him
I hear it in the deep heart’s core
themes
nature
peace
ideal world
