Question

summary of the poem the banyan tree by rabindranath tagore

Answer 1

Answer:

                          THE BANYAN TREE

                       - BY RABINDRANATH TAGORE

• Near the Banyan Tree there was a pond  where  women used to  fill  their water jars, the sunlight danced on the water and the animals played. Through this scene, the poet wants to appreciate the beauty of nature and relive the pleasant memories of his childhood. It's nice to think of the birds that  nested in  and left the banyan's shaggy hair.
• Now that I think about it, the fig tree stopped counting the birds that  nested in its hair, they spoiled it  and went to other  trees, to other skies. The banyan tree has forgotten them all and stands on the bank of the pond.
• But you certainly can't forget the little boy at the window, admiring his tangled roots and diving under the ground (he jumped out of the high window). Certainly not the women who would fill their jugs in the pond, as the  shadow of the banyan tree would wade into the water and naughty pranks would pass them by.
• "Sleep to wake up" is a delicious image. The brightest image is that of  sunlight dancing on the waves like a  shuttle weaving a fine golden tapestry.
