TWELVE O'CLOCK MOTHER,i do want to leave off my lessons now . i have been at my book all the morning . you say it is only twelve o'clock .suppose it isn't any later; can't you ever think it is afternoon when it is only twelvw o'clock? i can easily imagine now that the sun has reached the edge of that ricr-field , and the old fisher-woman is gathering herbs for her supper by the side of the pond . i can just shut my eyes and think that the shadows are growing darker under the madar tree,and the water in the pond looks shiny black . if twelve o'clock can come in the night , why can't the night come when it is twelve o'clock? Rabindranath Tagore -- --
