Poem - The Brook (Class IX - Literature Reader by CBSE)

Answer 1

The first vivid image created by the poet is that of the brook flowing through hills and valleys, under the bridges and by the villages. By thirty hills I hurry down Or slip between the ridges By twenty thorpes, a little town, And half a hundred bridges. The movements of the brook are notable as it is quite swift in its infancy. The second striking image is that of serpent. Like flow of the brook, with flowers and fish floating on it. It always longs to join the brimming river it is like a very sincere child.
