poem
colored toys
when i bring to you colored toys, my child,
i understand why there is such a play of colors on clouds, on water,
and why flowers are painted in tints
i give colored toys to you, my child.
when i sing to make you dance
i truly know why there is music in leaves,
and why waves send their chorus of voices to the heart of the listening earth
i sing to make you dance.
when i bring sweet things to your greedy hands
i know why there is honey in the cup of the flowers
and why fruits are secretly filled with sweet juice
i bring sweet things to your greedy hands.
when i kiss your face to make you smile, my darling,
i surely understand what pleasure streams from the sky in morning light,
and what delight that is that is which the summer breeze brings to my body
i kiss you to make you smile.

Explanation: Rabindranath Tagore, through this poem, conveys the idea of joy and happiness brought to a child's life by the little elements of nature like honey, flowers etc. The speaker also is enjoying this state of a child's joy and thus, deriving pleasure out of it. The poem deals with the psychological state of mind of a child who is overjoyed with nature's artistry and beautifully compares it to the beauty of nature. The speaker provides an idea of ushering happiness, love, affection into a child's life not by loads of luxury but by these unadorned beauties of nature. The poet wishes to suggest an alternative to the money-minded world where happiness is equated to wealth by replacing it with the beauty and serenity of nature.

C. The speaker compares the changing nature of child's emotions to the changing states of the natural world.
