Retort & from The People Yes - Poetic Structures DIRECTIONS: Read the first stanza of "The Lake Isle of Innisfree," by
William Butler Yeats. Then, answer the questions.

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.
