Read the following poem by William Butler Yeats, which was written after the romantic period ended.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

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.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,

Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;

There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,

And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day

I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;

While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,

I hear it in the deep heart's core.

Which three characteristics does the poem share with the romantic movement?

I don't know what the choices are but these are the characteristics of the Romantic movement that I see is shared in this poem.

1) It calls for emotions. The author writes about himself; his thoughts and emotions.

2) It relates to nature. Romantic movement takes inspiration from nature. He mentioned lake water, crickets, etc.

3) It uses simple words that those words invokes the most profound emotion from its readers. In short, simple but effective.
