Answer 1

Answer:

1. The poem refers to an old man, who builds a bridge to pave the way for those who are crossing the river later. This little effort would help them bypass the obstacles he had faced in the same way. The old man struggles to build a bridge and shape a better future for the next generation.

2. The old man crossed in the twilight dim; The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned, when safe on the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide.
