Answer 2

The title of the poem will give you clues about the theme of the poem. Every poem has a hidden message, which is found by treating the words as symbols that stand for something else. To interpret the meaning and tone of the poem, you have to decipher every single word in order to understand and enjoy the poem. Moreover, the title will help you discover the indirect language of the poem.
