at his answer because how doses he know about ones sweetheart,lies down lightly,and,is well contented,?The poet did not give us the answer,but the last two stanzas reach the climax when the questioner asks about the life of his friend.And the answer finally clears the readers doubt that he was the man who is now,cheering up the dead mans sweetheart,but he would like the questioner,never ask me whose,.,14/86,The stanzas are well organized form a common question about the questioners life,then his sports,then his girlfriend,and finally his friend who lives with his girlfriend.Readers might ask what the point of this conversation is at the beginning.The doubt gradually becomes heavier until the last two stanzas come out.He would find an increasing tension in the quest for an explanation.,15/86,What tone can you detect in the answerer when he answers the questions,.,His tone changes as he answers more and more questions.He light-heartedly answers the questions about the farming,and the sports with a bit assuring tone up to this stage.But gradually,his tone begins to be impatient(,be still,my lad and sleep,).He strikes the reader as evasive about talking about the
