Title : PALM TREE (M). by Sipra Roy.
Surpassing all other plants in height
Standing firmly as if in one leg with might
The tallest palm tree peeps high
Seems threatening to penetrate the sky !
When its huge and round leaves
Move and sway upward in breeze
She seems to wish let the leaves be her wings
To fly high to be pitched in the sky!
As the sun disappears, sparing
Spaces for the twinkling stars ;
Softly evening approaches and
The breeze stops to swing the leaves
The palm tree begins to languish
For the warmth of mother earth
And come back again close to
Where once it took birth!!
Palm tree is known in Bengali as "Taal Gaach" about which .Poet R.N.Tagore wrote this poem.
Though this poem belongs to the syllabus of Elementary school but its theme is profound and philosophical.
R.N.Tagore won Nobel Prize in literature in 1913.
