I Cannot Remember My Mother

  I Cannot Remember My Mother   1. Introduction "I Cannot Remember My Mother" is a deeply emotional, reflective poem by Rabindranath Tagore that explores a child's subconscious and sensory memories of a mother who has passed away. The poet cannot clearly recall his mother because he lost her at a very young age. However, her memory has not disappeared completely. It returns to him through little sensory experiences—a tune associated with her lullaby, the fragrance of shiuli flowers and the vast blue sky.

The poem presents the mother as a lasting presence in the child's world.   2. Themes ·          Eternal Motherly Love The central theme is the everlasting love between a mother and her child. Although the speaker cannot reme...
