Solution
In this poem, the poet tells the reader, who is in a hurry, to turn his foot aside so that he does not crush the helpless I worm. The reader may be filled with scorn and hatred for the worm, but it was created by God.
The same God who made human beings and all other things that move has also given a portion of His unlimited love to the poor worm. God has given the sun, the moon and the stars free to all the creatures He created. The grass that grows over the earth was made for worms as well as for human beings. The poet urges the reader to allow the worms to enjoy their brief life with its humble pleasures. He tells us not to take away a life which we cannot give.
