Interpretation

Def:

To understand the meanings, themes, .. by reading actively.

Example:

Here a pretty baby lies

Sung asleep with lullabies:

Pray be silent and not stir

Th' easy earth that covers her.

Interpretation: 

First line: Baby is lying.

Last line: The baby is covered. 

Not by a blanket but by earth. Means the baby is buried. The baby is dead!

Sign:
Interpretation is very important in reading a poems because you read it,  you will have to have skills in order to understand it. Or else, it will destroy the whole purpose of reading the poems. Interpretation means infer what will happen next, summarize what happened in your head,analyzing it..feel the feeling the speaker's trying to shows.
