Write down the theme of the following poem (Not more than 50 words). [RB ’17]
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. 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.
The Lake Isle of Innisfree by W.B. Yeats
Answer : The theme of the poem is about the poet’s desire to live in close contact with nature. In the cities, people lose all human compassions and conscience. So the poet dreams to go to the lake island Innisfree, a village, where he will have a peaceful life.
