Question

meaning of i stand on the roadway or on the pavement grey​

Answer 1

The speaker in Butler's "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" (1892) is clearly in the midst of an urban environment as he thinks about Innisfree:

While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,/I hear it in the deep heart's core. (ll. 11-12)

The tone expresses the speaker's regret that he is so far from where his heart tells him he should be, and it's equally obvious that he has spent much of his time not at Innisfree but on the "pavements gray." Further, his use of "pavements gray" tells us that the urban environment in which he finds himself is exactly the opposite of the natural world he desires to return to.

What seems to be most important to the speaker is not just being back in nature but obtaining something that is not available to him while his is in the city:
