Answer 1

I cannot remember my mother

- Rabindranath Tagore

Answer :

• Poet Rabindranath Tagore has drawn a beautiful picture memory of a child through his poem "I cannot remember my mother".

• In this poem, there are three visual images. They show us how much he misses his mother yet he knows that she is there with him always.

• On the first instance when playing, he remembers his mother humming while rocking his cradle.

• On the second instance when there is autumn in the land, he smells the scent of shiuli flowers which he remembers to have come from her mother through morning services in the temple.

• On the third instance when he looks at the sky through his bedroom window, he remembers his mother to be looking at him, gazing upon his face.
