उत्तर
His tone seems condemning, scornful. Also, it seems to be warning you somewhat about the results of a cold heart.In the beginning, the poem unwraps as a story or a tale. The author uses negative language – ‘idle,’ ‘lazy’, ‘shiftless’.The people in this poem illustrate the coldness within and how destructive it is and how it works.
