Question

What is the tale that speaker refers to?​

Answer 1

Answer:

These lines are from the poem "A Girl's Garden" by Robert Frost. It is a narrative poem. The poet introduces the narrator as his neighbour and now she is a grown-up woman. She talks about a 'childlike thing' (a garden making) that she did when she was a little girl. These are the things I understand from the poem.

The poem has already been taken into certain school text book and there is a question as to who the speaker in the poem is. To this question, some say that the speaker is the poet himself; but some others say that the poet's neighbour - the protagonist- is the speaker. When I googled, I even found that "The speaker is a neighbor of the girl, who is now an adult woman living in town"
