Irishman. His father was also an artist and encouraged him to
write poetry. Apart from that he wrote many poems to Maud
Gonne, hoping for her love in return.
Accomplishments :-
1) Won the Nobel Prize for Literature (1923)
2) Member of Irish Senate (1922 – 1928)
3) Referred to as the greatest Irish poet
STANZA 1
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
STANZA 2
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes
dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket
sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
STANZA 3
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
Summary
The speaker says he's going to go to Innisfree to build a small, simple
cabin. He'll have a little bean garden and a honeybee hive. He wants
to live alone in peace with nature and the slow pace of country living.
Sounds like a plan, buddy.
In the last stanza, the speaker restates that he's leaving and explains
it's because every night he hears the water lapping against the shore
(of Innisfree). Even though he lives in a more urban place with paved
roads, deep down inside he's drawn to the rural sounds of Innisfree.
It's all about rustling trees, not bustling buses for this speaker.
