The Lake Isle of Innisfree” by W. B. Yeats is a short poem about a man who yearns for the peace and simplicity of nature. Yeats provides details as to what the speaker is going to do when he gets there. In Stanza 1, the second line, “And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:” The speaker plans to create a small home for himself. The use of the word small cabin to gives the impression that he is going to be the only one living in the house, without any family or relations of any kind. He plans to build the cabin from clay and wattles (sticks and rods). Once he’s living in his small cabin, he dreams of having “nine” rows of bean plants and a hive for, presumably, many honeybees, as in the next line, the glade (or small clearing in a forest), is filled with their sound.
