Explanation:

                       "   The listeners"

                                                                 by Walter de la mare

The poem has a theme of supernatural and mystery. The traveller doesn't completely believes in the presence of these spirits. This shows the futile and narrow minded-mentality of the modern age.

The poet want to convey that there is one more world,a world of spirits which is parallel to our world ,which we are unaware of as our eyes cannot visualise then ,but we should be ready to accept this too.
