Tagore's maternal love poems

mother

I don't remember my mother.

Just in the middle of the game

Sometimes there seems to be a tune.

Spinning around on my toy

She is shaking my cradle.

Those songs I hummed.

I don't remember my mother.

But in the early autumn morning,

The smell of acacia flowers is floating in the air.

The smell of morning prayers in the temple

It's like blowing my mother's breath to me.

I don't remember my mother.

It's just that when I look through the bedroom window,

Looking at the blue sky in the distance

in my opinion

My mother cured my eyes.

Filled the whole sky

If I become a golden flower, for fun,

Growing on a tall branch, swinging in the air with a smile,

Mom, will you still know me?

If you yell, "Where are you, son?"

I snickered there, but didn't say a word.

I will quietly open my petals and watch you work.

When taking a bath, my wet hair falls over my shoulders and passes through the golden flowers shaded by green trees.

When you go to the small courtyard of prayer, you will smell the flowers.

But I didn't know the smell came from me.

At lunch, I sat at the window and read Ramayana.

When the shadow of that tree falls on your hair and knees,

I want to cast my little shadow on your page,

Right where you are reading.

But can you guess that this is a small shadow of your child?

When you take the lamp to the cowshed at dusk,

I'm going to suddenly fall to the ground again,

To be your child again, please tell me a story.

"Where have you been, you bad boy?"

"I won't tell you, mom."

That's what you and I were trying to say.
