In the above lines, the poet beautifully depicts the inner instincts of a school boy. The poet says that a bird can never sing sweet song when it is caged. In the same way, if a child remains under fear and tension, he can never enjoy the natural happiness. The poet says that if buds are nipped and tender plants are strapped, they can’t grow and bloom. In the same way, the child rose in the fresh and delightful summer morning can’t be happy when his parents force him to go to school where he spends his time in sorrow. The child means that when he is forced to go to school, he can not learn anything at school. He even can’t enjoy the summer and the sweetness of the season because he is forced to go to school. Here, the poet differentiates between the freedom of imagination and repression of young souls in schools. The extract follows an ababb rhyme scheme. There are rhyming words like joy-annoy, sing-wing, spring; nipped-stripped, away-day-dismay, joy-destroy, appearyear. Overall the poem is delightful to read. The poet has made use of alliteration also. For example, blossoms blown, gather...... griefs, etc.
