Summary of I Cannot Remember My Mother by Rabindranath Tagore -
A child who lost his mother in infancy has only faint recollection of her now. The poet states that he cannot remember his mother now. However, he feels her presence pervading into his life, when he is in the middle of his play with his playthings, he senses a tune hovering over him. It is the tune of his mother’s song which she used to hum while rocking his cradle.
When it is the early autumn morning, the smell of shiuli flowers floats in the air. Then the poet smells the scent of the morning service in the temple. In that smell, he senses the scent of his mother.
When the poet is in his bedroom, he looks out into the blue of the distant sky. He feels the silent, steady and protective gaze of his mother being cast down at him from her heavenly abode. Her face seems to be spread all over the sky.
