Answers
The poem "Birdie, will you pet?" has been written by William Allingham. The poem is about the conversation of the poet and a free bird. The poet wants to pet the bird and keep in a cage. He continuously gives the proposal to the bird and wants to attract the bird by giving all the materialistic pleasures to it. The bird, on the other hand, gives a very subtle and witty reply and thereby rejects the proposal. The poet promises the bird to provide a soft bed, cushions, blanket, carpet, and pillows in her cage. The bird refused this proposal by saying that for her the free bird wind gives much comfort than these things. The poet then offers the bird to have her meals in golden and silver utensils. The bird replies that no utensil can hold the flowing water and store the food provided by the forest. She also rejects the proposal of getting precious gems and jewelry by saying goodbye to the poet.
