(i) The poet
says that English is a wonderful language and that in order to
express our thoughts, we must put them into words.

feels that one must use words to express the thoughts because many of
the loveliest and sweetest things might never have been said till
now. Many times people do not know how to say what they feel and the
poet says that one must not let his thoughts die for he should put it
in the best words and bring them forward as it could turn out to be
one of the loveliest things.

says that we keep on hearing the same thoughts that have been
expressed before also. Therefore, everybody needs a change of
thoughts. They are longing to hear some fresh and beautiful thing
implying something new and different.

says that when we look at something, our mind creates a thought.
However, it stands lost behind our eyes as we do not put it into
words and it does not gain its freedom. Therefore, the poet suggests

expression, so that they do not die after staying bound in the prison
behind our eyes.
