MEMORY OF CHILDHOOD DAYS, by DHAN GOPAL MUKERJI Poet's Biography

Subject(s): Childhood Memories
First Line: A pain become pleasure
Last Line: That their mother-mine outlive.
Subject(s): Childhood Memories
A pain become pleasure;
A silence become song;
Sorrow moving to joy's measure;
A night gold-draped as dawn.
The pink adornéd heavens;
The low tone of the breeze;
A little child star-gazing —
The mariner of dreams' deep seas.
Oh, the gladness that comes here,
When memory brings the hour in
Through the portals of reverie,
When the one star doth the sun bedim.
Indeed, a gladness born of sadness,
Those days held in memory's sieve
Like numberless gems from Time's mine,
That their mother-mine outlive.
