I Cannot Remember My Mother

By Rabindranath Tagore

from Sishu Bholanath

I cannot remember my mother

only sometimes in the midst of my play

a tune seems to hover over my playthings

the tune of some song that she used to

hum while rocking my cradle.

I cannot remember my mother

but when in the early autumn morning

the smell of the shiuli flowers floats in the air

the scent of the morning service in the temple

comes to me as the scent of my mother.

I cannot remember my mother

only when from my bedroom window I send

my eyes into the blue of the distant sky

I feel that the stillness of

my mother's gaze on my face

has spread all over the sky.
