Veenapoove (1907) – “A fallen flower” – Second Stanza
Continuation from First Stanza..
Mavakavi Kumaran Asan depicts the past of the flower in this stanza. He becomes nostalgic and remembers how the flower was pampered as a flower bud and how the plant would have nurtured it to blossom. He reminds us that every living being has a stage where they are pampered and attention is given but all have the same fate as the flower.
The plant that gave birth to you would have pampered
when you were infant.
It helped you to blossom.
The wind would have swung you to its tune.
