Q2. Read the following poems carefully and answer the questions given below On the doorsteps of the temple Under the hot sun I see her everyday Her hands and feet are Withered like limbs of a dead tree Her eyes tried of searching For rays of hope Are sunk deep like caves in a rock. Neither hey receive light Nor give it Her three yard saree Has torn in thirty places Has body has absorbed Sixty years of dirt. Her knotty matted hair is the abode of worm and lice Here and there some black teeth, Stand as guards in her open mouth. The lines on her face. Have spread far and deep.
