One evening, the poet [Link] hears a
song of a woman. She plays the piano with great
passion. It reminds him of his childhood. His mother
is playing the piano and also singing. He sits under
the piano and listens to the vibration of the strings.
He touches her feet with his small fingers. Mother
smiles at him. On Sunday evenings, all the family
members sing hymns. The hymns of his mother, the
music from the piano and the warmth of the
comfortable parlour would fill him with joy. Though
the woman sings loudly, her black piano makes
attractive sounds. But it has no effect on the poet
now. His mind is flooded with his childhood
memories. Though he is a grown up, he weeps like a
