Question

what is the lady in the poem from groves of spice trying to do with her baby​

Answer 1

Answer:

The poem is a lullaby which is sung by a mother to put her child to sleep. We get an idea that this song is based in an Indian village as we can see the description of the spice groves, rice fields and a stream filled with beautiful lotuses, glistening with dew drops. Also, the neem tree is being referred to as "the fairy neem" as it is considered to be a sacred tree in Indian villages. The poem also mentions the poppy plant which is used for making herbal medicines that induce sleep. The night is described beautifully by describing the fire flies glowing in the dark and the stars shining brightly in the sky
