No, the sea was in considerable awe to sea ships cross the Atlantic.

Tabby, it was sporting with leaves falling from an old tree.

The sea wanted to know that whether the young man would be able to overcome the tides.

On listening to the challenge of the sea, he made a boat that was able to float.

The Sea thinks that the young man is not a whale nor a shark and he also cannot walk on the waves.

The mast is a tall upright post (wooden log) fixed to carry a boat’s sails.

Although the sea is dangerous and formidable, it has a magnanimous heart to admit that man has indeed conquered him.

The sea finally admits and appreciates the valient action of man. The poem also explains how one could can win over any trouble and difficult conditions in life.

Miss Pushpa is described as belonging to a ‘high family’. However, the speaker cannot remember whether her father, a famous advocate, is in Bulsar or Surat.

“You are all-knowing, friends, what sweetness is in Miss Pushpa.” “She is a most popular lady with men also and ladies also” reveal that Miss Pushpa was liked by all.

The words scarlet, golden and russet suggest that the leaves get older therefore the colour changes. This may be the time to fall on the ground and the tree is ready to welcome the spring season. In the beginning of autumn it happens and in the winter season it fells down.

As the leaves get scarlet and golden, they start to fall one by one. And in the winter season, the leaves are falling under the tree.

In the summer season, the leaves give shade for the nest. The trees make the shade and help the birds to rest on them.

During the spring season, the trees grow well. The leaves spread over every branch of the tree.

I like the spring season most. The earth appears to have erupted in a maze of colours, i.e, the earth looks very colourful. The sun shines warmly all over and little birds sing happily. After the cold winter days we feel everything in this world is Joyful.

‘Opening and stretching on every tree’ this line expresses the happiness of the leaves. The first stanza itself says that the leaves are extremely happy because all the leaves would stretch over on every branch of the trees.
