NATURE: THE GENTLEST MOTHER IS by Emily Dickinson

This is one of my favourite poems and I want you guys to know it too.

 Nature, the gentlest mother,

Impatient of no child,

The feeblest or the waywardest,—

Her admonition mild


In forest and the hill

By traveler be heard,

Restraining rampant squirrel

Or too impetuous bird.



How fair her conversation

A summer afternoon

Her household her assembly;

And when the sun go down,


Her voice among the aisles

Incite the timid prayer

Of the minutest cricket

The most unworthy flower


When all the children sleep,

She turns as long away

As will suffice to light her lamps,

Then bending from the sky


With infinite affection

An infiniter care,

Her golden finger on her lip,

Wills silence everywhere

1st STANZA: The poet tells us that nature is patient with all of us. She does not discriminate between people. She warns us all softly

2nd STANZA: 

The poet tells us that nature protects all her children amidst humans. She does not harm the hunters but instead, she protects the animals.

3rd and 4th STANZA: The poet tells us that she does the household chores and prays for all of us.

5th STANZA: The poet tells us that even during the darkest of times mother nature will shine a ray of hope upon all of us.

6th STANZA: Nature gives us unlimited love and care and makes us feel the peacefulness by silencing us
