    6. Answer: Both midnight and noon on the island are visualized by the poet to be very bright with only
    different hues of brilliance – the twinkling light of the moon and the stars in the midnight and the
    bright purple shine in the noon.
    7. Answer: The poet dreams of enjoying the songs of the linnets and the sound of the flapping of their
    wings as they fly back to their nests. He also hopes to enjoy the song of the cricket in the peaceful
    surroundings.
    8. Answer: They sing at midnight.
    9. Answer: He will build a house of clay and wood.
    10. Answer: He will live there all alone
