Write down the theme of the following poem (not more than 50 words):———

O father and mother, if buds are nipped, And blossoms blown away; And if the tender plants are stripped Of their joy in the springing day, By sorrow and care's dismay,-

How shall the summer arise in joy, Or the summer fruits appear? Or how shall we gather what griefs destroy, Or bless the mellowing year, When the blasts of winter appear?

Summarize the following poem:

Because I have seen Bengal’s face I will seek no more;

The world has not anything more beautiful to show me.

Waking up in darkness, gazing at the fig-tree, I behold

Dawn’s swallows roosting under huge umbrella–like leaves. I look around me

And discover a leafy dome-Jam, Kanthal,

Bat, Hijol and Aswatha trees–

All in a hush, shadowing clumps of cactus and zedoary bushes.

When long, long ago, Chand came in his honeycombed boat

To a blue Hijol, Bat and Tamal shade near the Champa, he too sighted

Bengal’s incomparable beauty. One day, alas. In the Ganguri,

on a raft, as the waning moon sank on the river’s sandbanks.

Write down the theme of the following poem. (Not more than 50 words):

Under the greenwood tree

Who loves to lie with me,

And turn his merry note

Unto the sweet bird's throat―

Come hither, come hither, come hither!

Here shall he see

No enemy

But winter and rough weather.

Who doth ambition shun

And loves to live i' the sun

Seeking the food he eats

And pleased with what he gets -

Come hither, come hither, come hither!

Here shall he see

No enemy

But winter and rough weather.
