Click this link to access “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” on the Poets.org website. Click the audio icon, and you will hear a very memorable and dramatic recitation of the poem by the author himself.
“The Lake Isle of Innisfree” is characterized as a lyric poem. In ancient Greece lyric poems were sung to the music of a stringed instrument called a lyre. Today, however, a lyric poem is generally considered to be a short poem, expressed in vivid language and imagery, which conveys the thoughts and feelings of a single speaker.
