Question

Summary of two poems by rabindranath tagore

Answer 1

The poem is written in the voice of an unimaginative schoolmaster who tells the mother with unconscious irony, "Your baby is so absurdly childish." He faults the child with further dramatic irony for not being able to distinguish between the concrete and the mundane and that which is not: 

She does not know the difference between the lights in the
streets and the stars.
When we play at eating with pebbles, she thinks they are real
food, and tries to put them into her mouth.
