Name some living creatures that are found underground.
To make their populous empires grow.
Who does the speaker think will stop their work? Why will they stop?
Whom do the fork and spade disturb? What have they been doing underground?
Why does the speaker call the underground as 'the country of the dead'?
In the poem, the speaker describes the underground as a quiet yet busy place. Using examples from the poem, show how this contrast has been grought about.
