The Lake of Innisfree
by William Butler Yeats
The Lake of Innisfree is a poem which tell about a man who dreams about a perfect place where he could get a peace in live. According to some resources based on the internet, Innisfree is a region which still untouched by industries, and that’s why the speaker tend to describe it as his perfect place to live. We could find it in line 7 and 8:
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
From these lines we could feel how is the speaker’s imagination towards Inisfree, and how bad he would like to go there. We will spotted some identical lines, in very first line, and the ninth line where the speaker keep saying that he ‘will arise, and go to Innesfree’. But in the ninth line, he said ‘I will arise and go now, for always night and day’. From this line, we can speculate that he could not go right now, but he kept dreaming for it, day and night. Maybe it because he live in urban, and have many things to be done, such as his job and works, family matters, and another adult business in common.
The speaker is a worker, maybe a busy worker of some company. Because, he do really imagine the peaceful life in Innesfree despites his routine in city. The tone of this poem are interesting, it inviting us feeling the warm of the speaker’s imagination about Innesfree.
