Question

Explain the lines: There seemed a purple stile
Which little yellow boys and girls
Were climbing all the while​

Answer 1

Answer:

There seemed a purple stile. We can see that a metaphor is used to describe the sunset as the speaker imagines that little yellow boys and girls are climbing up the "purple stile" as she watched the sun slowly set and the riotous colours that occur as a result.

Answer 2

The yellow children, bathed in the fading glow of the sun, are climbing this stile, only to be met on the other side by a clergyman or ‘Dominie’ clothed in drab grey (the grey suggesting dusk but also, perhaps, clouds).He leads the ‘flock’ of children away, putting up the ‘evening Bars’ for the night. (‘Bars’ is another nice touch, suggesting the rays of sunlight but also the bars of a fire and, of course, the bars of a prison or school window, denoting enclosure.)
