Question

2. Read the poem and answer the questions :
Once I crept in an oakwood, I was looking for a stag
I met an old woman there, all knobbly stick and rag
she said: "I have your secret here inside my little bag".
Then she began to cackle and I began to quake.
She opened up her little bag and I came twice awake
Surrounded by a staring tribe and me tied to a stake.
They said, "We are the oaktrees and your own tree family;
We are chopped down, we are torn up, you donot blink and eye.
Whenever you see an oaktree felled, swear now you will plant two
Unless you swear the black oak bark will wrinkle over you
And root you among the oaks where you were born but never grew"
This was my dream beneath the boughs, the dream that altered me
When I came out of the oakwood, back to human company
My walk was the walk of a human child but my heart was a tree.
