leave his current situation immediately He wants to escape to Innisfree He wants a calm and simple life in nature far away from city life Nature Gives Him Peace Then the speaker describes how peace will come to him slowly at Innisfree He imagines Innisfree is full of beauty in the morning noon evening or midnight He imagines hearing the sound of crickets insects and watching linnet birds Escape from City Life In the last stanza it becomes clear that the speaker is in harsh city life He is standing on the roadway or on the pavement I stand on the roadway or on the pavements grey But his heart always hears the sound of the lake water Day and night in his imagination he always hears this sound This means he wants to escape to Innisfree and live peacefully in nature In short the poem shows the speaker s strong desire to escape from the busy city and live peacefully in nature That is why The Lake Isle of Innisfree is a beautiful poem of escapism
