Explanation

(1) Just as 'heat' is associated with 'summer', 'chill' is associated with 'winter'. The poem mentions 'bent with the chill of the Winter's day'. (2) 'Hurt' and 'harm' are synonyms, just as 'old' and 'aged' are synonyms. The poem mentions 'without hurt or harm'. (3) 'Whispered' is the opposite of 'shouted', just as 'humble' is the opposite of 'proud'. The poem mentions 'Proud that his own were firm and strong'. (4) Just as 'legs' are used to 'walk', 'eyes' are used to 'see'. The poem mentions 'the glance of her anxious eyes'. (5) Just as 'having a lot of money' means being 'wealthy', 'densely packed people' means a 'throng'. The poem mentions 'Alone, uncared for, amid the throng'.
