Nature, which the speaker seems to equate with peace, dominates the poem. What's interesting about all these descriptions of nature is that, in the end, we find out the speaker is actually in an urban setting. All that nature is just a daydream. Maybe if he were living in the country, the speaker would be longing for the bustling city. Who knows? But Yeats paints a pretty tempting picture of the countryside here. All we need now is some lemonade and a hammock.
