Summary
The poet dreaded working on a place without any path. As he walked through a
meadow, the poet kept a watch to see if the owner was coming by. The meadow
was beautiful at every stretch. As he entered the road from the meadow, he felt
that every stranger he saw frowned at him and said that he had trespassed while
he was on his walk. The poet also felt that he would have a fine day everyday if he
had such a beautiful place like the meadow. However, as the meadow was not
his, he could not consider it as it his own.
