Question

Wind, come softly.
Don't break the shutters of the windows.
Don't scatter the paper.
Don't throw down the books on the shelf.
There, look what you did-you threw them all down .
You tore the pages of the books .
You brought rain again.
You're very clever at poking fun at weaklings.
Frail crumbling houses , crumbling doors, crumbling rafters, crumbling wood, crumbling bodies, crumbling lives, crumbling hearts -
the wind god winnows and crushes them all.
He won't do what you tell him.
So, come, let's build strong homes,
Let's joint the doors frimly .
practice to firm the body.
Make the heart steadfast.
Do this, and the wind will be friends with us.
The wind blows out weak fires .
He makes strong fires roar and flourish.
His friendship is good.
We praise him every day.

Answer:

Lesson - Wind

Poet - Subramania Bharati

Answer 2

The Answer is:

We are all aware that wind is a natural occurrence. The poet addresses the wind in this poem. Wind's force has been depicted, and the poet claims that wind is destructive. He has compared the destructive power of wind to life's hardships and claims that weak individuals break down, but stronger people emerge stronger from adversity.

• The poem conveys an important message: we must be mentally and physically robust in order to withstand life's challenges.
• A weak person crumbles, just like a weak building. With our strength and dedication, we must make these destructive forces our friends.
• The poet is conversing with the wind. He requests that the wind be gentle. So he's arguing that the wind shouldn't be too powerful or too noisy. It should be gentle and understated. T
• hen he claims that the wind is incredibly forceful and destructive, breaking window shutters and scattering papers.
• When the wind blows hard, all of the books on the shelf tumble to the ground.
• So the poet is expressing the strength of the wind here. Then he tells the wind to look at the devastation it has caused. When there is a strong wind, all the weak things, such as small plants, tiny children, and so on, become terrified and may even fall and get hurt.
• We can say that the poet refers to wind as a little child in the first portion of the poem.
• He is emphasising that it should be gentle, like a small child. We learn later that the wind, like a young person, is destructive.
• Just like a young boy or girl who is brimming with energy, violence, and destruction.
