About the Poem
The Lake Isle of Innisfree’ is one of W. B. Yeats’s first great poems.
The poem conjuring up a longing to go back to nature and live a self-sufficient life, and examines the themes of nature peace, wisdom and truth.
Written over 130 years ago – it appears more relevant today than ever – but will let you make your own interpretation.
