Answer:
Summary of the poem a legend of the northland written by Phoebe Cary. This poem is a ballad. In this poem, the poet tells a ballad about the lady and the Saint. Saint Peter was hungry because of his journey worldwide.
In this poem, the poetess tells us a story of the Northland. At that time Saint Peter lived on the earth. He used to go round the world to preach people whom he met on the way. One day, he came to the door of a cottage where a little woman was making cakes and baking them on the hearth. Saint Peter had eaten nothing the whole day. So, he was fainting with hunger.
He asked the lady to give him a piece of cake. The woman was greedy and selfish. Giving something to anyone was a very difficult task for her. The cake that she was baking appeared to be too big. So she made a small cake for the hungry saint. But that also appeared to be too big to give away. So she made another one which was smaller even than the first. But when it was ready, it appeared to be big so she did not give him that also. Then she took an extremely little scrap of dough and rolled it flat.
She had it as thin as a wafer but she was too greedy to part with even this cake and put it on the shelf. This angered Saint Peter a lot. He told the greedy lady that she was not fit to live in the world in human form and enjoy food and shelter and warmth of fire. He cursed her and transformed her into a woodpecker who has to bore in the dry wood hard to get its scanty food. She can be seen in the wood where she still lives and keeps boring trees for her food all the day.
