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

The buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yard

And made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood,

Sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it.

And from there those that lifted eyes could count

Five mountains range one behind the other

Under the sunset far into Vermont.

And the saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,

As it ran light, or had to bear a load.

And nothing happened : day was all but done.

Call it a day, I wish they might have said

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

Because I have seen Bengalis 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

Dawns swallows roosting under huge umbrella-like leaves. I look around me

And discover a leafs dome-Jam, Kant Hal, 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 Hijal, Bat and Tamal shade near the Champa, he too sighted Bengal’s incomparable beauty. One day, alas. In the Gang Uri,

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

Behula too saw countless a swaths bats besides golden rice fields

And heard the thrush’s soft song. One day, arriving in Amara ,

Where gods held court, when she danced like a desolate wagtail,

Bengal’s rivers, fields, flowers, wailed like strings of bells on her feet.

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

All people dream, but not equally.

Wake in the morning to find that it was vanity.

For they dream their dreams with open eyes,

And make them come true.

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.

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

I will arise and go now and go to Inn is free,

And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;

Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee

And live alone in the bee loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow

Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;

There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,

And evening full of the linnet's wings

I will arise and go now, for always night and day

I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;

While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,

I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
