Answer 1

Answer:The poet by the words ‘tokens' refers to the virtues and humane qualities that animals possess. The poet can see these qualities that ought to be present in human beings who have the sixth sense, in the animals.

b) The poet wonders from where these animals could have got these virtues and good qualities. He wonders whether he accidentally dropped them on his onward journey and whether that’s how these animals picked up these virtues.

c) In the last line, the poet feels that today, human beings lack these humane good qualities and virtues that these animals possess. He feels we have lost it somewhere down the years through our negligent and careless attitude and that was from where the animals picked them up.
