Answer 1

Answer:

This poem is about a school boy. He is unhappy because he doesn’t like going to school. He feels that his childhood is ruined in learning. He compares himself to a bird that lives in a cage, and a plant that withers when it blossoms. In the end, the poet sends a message to parents that they should not put the burden of studies on students. They should allow them to experience joy and let them live happily.
