Piano
When poet starts thinking of his past, the present song of a woman turns to be useless. He doesn’t want listen song being sung by the woman. Her music and song is sweet but his remembrance of far sweeter than that. Though his past is sweet and pleasing, he can’t get it back even he pays million and billion. His past has gone away forever and he can never reach there. So, weeps like a child for his past throwing his manhood in the flood of remembrance.

There are two person in the poem: the poet and woman. The woman is singing a poem for poet and also playing piano. Her beautiful song suddenly takes the poet back down the vista of years. He reached in his childhood. He finds himself as child sitting under the piano and pressing his mother’s feet. His mother used to sing and play piano. She would smile at him. It is his past and he is grown up now. His present is totally different from his past. The woman who is singing a song makes him remember of the world Sunday evening. They used to sing hymns and piano were their guide. He recalls the scene in which a child is sitting under the piano and his mother is smiling at the poet by playing piano. The child is innocently pressing the balanced small feet of a mother.

Piano is a memory poem composed by a David Herbert Lawrence. The poet has depicted his feelings from the memories of his childhood in this poem. Softly in the evening, a woman is singing a song to the poet. The song makes the poet sink deep in the recollection of his childhood days. Now, the song can’t impress the poet and he thinks it is useless to burst into the clamor. He reaches his childhood days and helplessly sinks into the floods of tears which come from his eyes.

The poet has skillful efficiency of song but that has betrayed him back. He weeps and his heart pains. He remembers the past Sunday evenings. It was cold outside and there were hymns in the comfortable room.
