CLASS – VIII
SUBJECT – ENGLISH
WORKSHEET 2 [Unfolding Bud]
Appreciating the Poem
1. Why do you think the speaker speaks of the water-lily ‘unfolding’
rather than ‘blooming’ ?
[Think of the main point – similarity between two things. ]
Ans: The word ‘unfolding’ brings out the similarity between the flower and the
poem. While the flower unfolds to reveal its colours, the poem unfolds to reveal
its inner meaning.
2. What words describe the state of the poem when it is first seen ?
Why have those words being used?
Ans : The words used to describe the poem are ‘tight-closed’ and ‘tiny-bud’.
These words signify that the poem’s inner beauty is closed to the reader at the
beginning.
3. Why do you think last three lines are written in that way ? [ Does it
make our reading of them slower , adding value to each re-reading ?]
Ans: The last three lines show how a poem needs to be read. Separating the
words into three different lines makes the reading slower and conveys that this
is how every poem is to be read.
4. What has this poem taught you about how a poem is best read ? state the
difference between reading a story and reading a poem in a short paragraph .
Ans: This poem teaches us that a poem needs to be read and understood slowly
and over a period of time. Every poem needs to be read multiple times before it
can be fully understood and appreciated. A short story, in contrast, takes just
one reading for it to be understood.
Summary
This is a seemingly simple poem with a deep and profound meaning, spanning multiple
levels. We are amazed at the increasing beauty of the water-lily as we watch it unfold at its
own pace, day by day. An ordinary looking bud opens out to reveal petals of delicate shades,
mesmerising us with its stately elegance. We are not amazed with one reading of a poem. The
poem may not impress us at first glance for it is like a tightly-closed bud. But on reading it
over and over again we are able to enjoy the deeper meanings it unfolds like a lily in bloom.
The first verse is an image of beauty of a blooming water-lily bud. Its rich colour and
graceful height are left to the imagination of the reader who sees the flower through his
mind’s eye. The second verse states a contrast and a comparison: a contrast between our
response to an unfolding lily and our response to a poem though both of them are similar in
the way they treasure their beauty.
