Read the poem and answer the question. The forest's sentinel Glides gently across the hill And perches in an old pine tree, A friendly presence his! No harm can come From night bird on the prowl. His call is mellow, Much softer than a peacock's call. Why then this fear of owls Calling in the night? If men must speak, Then owls must hoot - They must have the right. On me it casts no spell: Rather, it seems to cry, "The night is good - all's well, all's well." Ruskin Bond What is the poet talking about in the first stanza? (RL 6.4)
