Answer The poet has called time an old gipsy as it has similarity with the gipsies. The gipsies wander from one place to another. Similarly, time goes on and on from one place to another place, from one age to another age, from Babylon to Rome or from Rome to Paul’s Dome etc.

Answer Here is a list of things the poet will offer if time stays just for a day.
1 . Silver bells for jennet,
2 . Golden rings,
3 . Peacock’s bow,
4 . Little boy’s song,
5 . Sweet girls’ May festoon.

Answer If time stays for a day, I will offer him twinkling stars on the sky, numerous sea waves and the golden hair of a beautiful damsel. I will request him to count them so that I can make him stay for a certain period.

Answer In this poem, ‘Time, You Old Gipsy Man’, the poet Ralph Hodgson told about time. He said that time never stays. It always runs and runs. For this, he names the time “Old gipsy man”. To stop the time, he offered the time things such as belts for its jennet of the best silver, a big golden ring etc. He told time that peacocks will bow, little boys will sing songs, sweet girls will festoon the time with may. He requested the time to put up its caravan just for one day, but the time never stays. It passes and passes. Nobody can stop its ever-busy frigate even for a second. We know how precious thing is time for us. If we don’t use it properly, it will run away and never come back. So, we need to use the time properly.
