A shed is a small room, away from the
main house, for storing or keeping things, animals, tools, vehicles, etc. Here
in this poem we get the description of shed
at the
bottom of the garden with a spider’s web hanging across the door. The poet
could listen the creaking sounds of the rusty hinges. He has a desire i.e. to
open the door one day.
 
The
poet talks about a dusty old window around at the side with three cracked panes
of glass and he feels that there’s someone staring at him each time that he
passes by. One day he desires to peep through the window.
 


 
Then
the poet talks about his brother. His brother says there’s a ghost in the shed
who hides under the rotten floorboards, and if the poet ever dares to set foot
inside he’ll jump out and chop off poet’s head. But the poet does not believe
so. He wants to have a peek one day.
 
In
the last stanza the poet says that there isn’t really a ghost.          His brother tells lies to keep the
shed for his den. There isn’t anyone staring or making strange noises. And the
spider has been gone from his web
And
he does not know when. He is determined to go into the shed one day.
