It is<br>Saturday, our holiday.<br> Leave off your work, mother; sit here by the window and tell<br>me where the desert of Tepantar in the fairy tale is.<br> The shadow of the rains has covered the day from end to end.<br> The fierce lightning is scratching the sky with its nails.<br> When the clouds rumble and it thunders, I love to be afraid<br>in my heart and cling to you.<br> When the heavy rain patters for hours on the bamboo leaves,<br>and our windows shake and rattle at the gusts of wind, I like to<br>sit alone in the room, mother, with you, and hear you talk about<br>the desert of Tepantar in the fairy tale.<br> Where is it, mother, on the shore of what sea, at the foot of<br>what hills, in the kingdom of what king?<br> There are no hedges there to mark the fields, no footpath<br>across it by which the villagers reach their village in the<br>evening, or the woman who gathers dry sticks in the forest can<br>bring her load to the market. With patches of yellow grass in the<br>sand and only one tree where the pair of wise old birds have their<br>nest, lies the desert of Tepantar.<br> I can imagine how, on just such a cloudy day, the young son<br>of the king is riding alone on a grey horse through the desert, in<br>search of the princess who lies imprisoned in the giant's palace<br>across that unknown water.<br> When the haze of the rain comes down in the distant sky, and<br>lightning starts up like a sudden fit of pain, does he remember his<br>unhappy mother, abandoned by the king, sweeping the cow-stall and<br>wiping her eyes, while he rides through the desert of Tepantar in<br>the fairy tale?<br> See, mother, it is almost dark before the day is over, and<br>thee are no travellers yonder on the village road.<br> The shepherd boy has gone home early from the pasture, and men<br>have left their fields to sit on mats under the eaves of their<br>huts, watching the scowling clouds.<br> Mother, I have left all my books on the shelf-do not ask me<br>to do my lessons now.<br> When I grow up and am bid like my father, I shall learn all<br>that must be learnt.<br> But just for today, tell me, mother, where the desert of<br>Tepantar in the fairy tale is.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Rabindranath+Tagore">Rabindranath Tagore</a><div class=q>
