(ii) The cricket’s song has a warmth that never decreases.
Answers
Answer:
The poem being referred to is On the Grasshopper and Cricket, by John Keats.
The grasshopper’s song never comes to an end. This sentiment is conveyed to us by the poet through the lines:
“—he has never done
With his delights;”
‘He’ here is the grasshopper. The poet feels that no matter how hot a day it is, it does not affect the grasshopper. He continues to sing untiringly.
The cricket’s song has a warmth that never decreases. We get to know of this from the lines:
“The Cricket’s song, in warmth increasing ever,”
Here the poet says that despite the ‘frost’ and bitter cold, one can hear the cricket chirp. It is a heartwarming experience.
In both these lines, the poet has paid attention to the tiny beings on earth, to prove his point that there is endless music and joy in nature.
