    2) What does the poet mean by “blooms of dawn’?

    Answer Key
    1) The poet who imagines himself to be a child, is the speaker of the poem. He desires to

    the paper boats will go, he feels that whoever will find them is his unknown friend.
    This shows that for a child floating the paper boats is friendly. For the unknown
    friend he also fills his boats with flowers from his garden, which he would have
