Answers
★Introduction
In this poem, a school boy speaks. He is an unhappy child. His childhood is crushed in the name e of learning and teaching.
★Happy Morning
The boy likes the morning. He is pleased to see the trees and the birds. The distant sound the huntsman's horn is pleasant. He wants to sing with the skylark. In brief the nature seems to offer a sweet company.
★Unhappy Morning
However, his morning hours pass unhap play, He lives a worrisome life in the school. Neither the books nor the teacher's lecture interest him.
★Childhood
The pleasure of childhood is in being free ind happy like a bird. But a child is put in the school just as a bird is put in the cage. So the child is as unhappy as a caged bird.
★The Parents
The parents should understand their fault. Depriving the child of joy and freedom means depriving the world of its spring. It is like nipping the buds and flowers from the plants. The world is a sorrowful place without happy childhood.
★The Summer of Joy
In the absence of a happy childhood, we shall have winter of sorrow. The summer (heat) of joy will never be there.

Poem of The School Boy
I love to rise in a summer morn, When the birds sing on every tree; The distant huntsman winds his horn, And the skylark sings with me.
O! what sweet company.
But to go to school in a summer morn, OL it drives all joy away; Under a cruel eye outworn, The little ones spend the day, In sighing and dismay.
Ah! then at times I drooping sit, And spend many an anxious hour. Nor in my book can I take delight, Nor sit in learning's bower,
Worn thro' with the dreary shower.
How can the bird that is born for joy, Sit in a cage and sing. How can a child when fears annoy, But droop his tender wing,
And forget his youthful spring.
O! Father and Mother, if buds are nip'd, And blossoms blown away, And if the tender plants are strip'd of their joy in the springing day, By sorrow and cares dismay,
How shall the summer arise in joy, Or the summer fruits appear?
