Answer 1

Ciara, apparently none of us has read that poem or story. When you ask for help with a literary work, please tell us whether it' a poem, story, play, or whatever, and tell us the author so we might be better able to help you. If we are not familiar, we might be able to look it up, but not just by title alone. There are many works that have the same title.
