Question

Why did the poet think that the shadow behaved like an arrant sleepy head?

Answer 1

Answer:

He speaks of a time in which he got up before the sun. The child was awake so early he could see the “shining dew on ever buttercup.” This line lets a reader know the scene was a beautiful one, something the speaker feels the shadow should not have missed. Rather than accompanying him on this early morning journey, the shadow remains in bed like “an arrant sleepy-head.” The speaker thinks this was the wrong decision.
