“Down by a shining water well
I found a very little dell,
No higher than my head.
The heather and the gorse about
In summer bloom were coming out,
Some yellow and some red.
I called the little pool a sea;
The little hills were big to me;
For I am very small.
I made a boat, I made a town,
I searched the caverns up and down,
And named them one and all.
And all about was mine, I said,
The little sparrows overhead,
The little minnows too.
This was the world and I was king;
For me the bees came by to sing,
For me the swallows flew.
I played there were no deeper seas,
Nor any wider plains than these,
Nor other kings than me.
At last I heard my mother call
Out from the house at even-fall,
To call me home to tea.
And I must rise and leave my dell,
And leave my dimpled water well,
And leave my heather blooms.
Alas! and as my home I neared,
How very big my nurse appeared.
How great and cool the rooms!”

Explanation:Summary
Children often live in the imaginary world. This poem tells us about how does a real world appear to a little boy. According to the little boy, a small valley near to his house was his kingdom. There was a very small pool to which he called a sea. It was a sunny day and the beautiful different coloured flowers were blooming in the valley. He wondered that he made and searched everything there in the valley and given the name to all. He seemed itself as a king and everything on that valley belonged to him. The little sparrows and very small fishes listened to his instructions. For him the bees were singing and the swallows were flying. He imagines that sea(small pool) was the most deepest one and the plains were widest one in the whole world. No any king was like him having such a beautiful kingdom. He kept imagining then the day turned to evening and his mother was calling to home for tea. He raised and left his kingdom downhearted and reached to his home.
