Detailed explanation-3: -The poem ‘A Legend of the Northland’ is an age-old tale about a saint and an old lady. One day, Saint Peter stopped by an old lady’s cottage, when she was baking cakes. The saint was weak from fasting and asked the old lady to help him with a cake. The old lady kept on trying to bake a small cake for him.
