Palm Tree by Rabindranath Tagore
Palm Tree by Rabindranath is a beautiful poem depicting his greatness and powerful flight of fancy beyond the stars.
In the first stanza the poet compares palm-tree to a single-legged giant, taller than all the trees in its vicinity. The poet feels the palm tree has a longing to go beyond the ceiling of black clouds in the sky; it wants to fly away but sadly it has no wings.
In the second stanza the poet feels the tree appears to be wishing to fly when it is moving in the wind; the tree might be thinking its fronds are wings and in the wind it appears to be trying to move them to fly.
In the third stanza also the poet thinks the palm tree to be endeavoring to fly beyond the sky. May be it is flying beyond the stars in its imagination.
In the fourth stanza the poet feels when the wind stops the palm tree’s efforts to fly also cease; its fronds do not move, they become quiet. The poet feels this subsiding of actions of the tree is symbolic of its realization that it is a tree – not a bird. After the wind stops, the tree appears to have realized that it belongs to the earth that is its mother; and then it stands quietly.
Answer:
The palm tree, which is considered as the tallest tree wants to fly higher like the clouds. The tree imagines its big round leaves to be its wings. In the end however it is content to be with land which it considers to be its mother!
The essence is so sweet; words are simple and have a beautiful lyrical flow. Each of us must have felt the urge to fly in the sky at some point in our lives. So does trees that stand at just one point for their whole life!
