poem and answer the question that follow :
THE KINGFISHER
It was the Rainbow that gave the birth.
And left thee all her lovely hues,
And, as her mother's name was Tears.
So runs it in my blood to choose
For haunts the lonely pools, and keep
In company with trees that weep.
Go you and with such glorious hues.
Live with proud peacocks in green parks:
On lawns as smooth as shining glass,
Let every feather show its marks,
Get thee on boughs and dap thy wings
Before the windows of proud kings
Nay, lovely Bird, thou art not vain:
Thou hast no proud, ambitious mind:
I also love a quiet place
That's green, away from all mankind.
A lonely pool, and let a tree
Sigh with her bosom over me.

Answer:
1. Kingfisher, according to the poet, was created from a rainbow and has all of its colors. It is asked by the poet to live quiet, far from others. The kingfisher is thought to be a modest bird, lacking the peacock's pride and ambition.
Explanation:
2. The kingfisher's lack of ambition and lack of pride are attributes that the poet admires.
3. Most likely, the poet meant that the kingfisher's blood is colored by melancholy.
Reason: It appears that melancholy, in some form, permeates the kingfisher's blood in the same way that it does in the blood of its mother. The word "tears" used in the sentence denotes melancholy and anything that is not joyful.
4. Like, The poet aspires to dwell in a solitary, natural setting. He wants to take in the beauty of nature. Similar to this, Kingfishers are a type of colorful bird that enjoys the weather and prefers to thrive in desolate, calm areas that are surrounded by natural beauty.
5. Even though both "kingfisher and peacock" have beautiful colors like rainbows, according to the poet, "kingfisher is not haughty like a peacock." He claims that Kingfisher lacks ambition and is quite humble.
