Question -

Read the first and second stanzas of the poem again. Note the following phrases.
Corn growing, people working or dancing, wind sighing, rain falling, a singer chanting

These could be written as

  1. Corn that is growing.
  2. People who are working or dancing

Can you rewrite the other phrases like this? Why do you think the poet uses the shorter phrases?



Answer -

Wind sighing: Wind that is sighing

Rain falling: Rain that is falling

A singer chanting: A singer who is chanting

The poet uses shorter phrases because it is a poem and therefore, its rhyme has to be maintained. Also, it enhances the ‘beauty’ of the poem.
