Samacheer Kalvi 6th english memory poem

 Term - I

Trees

The Banyan is the largest of trees,

The Peepul quivers in the breeze,

The Coconut grows up straight and tall,

The Neem tree’s fruits are very small,

The Tamarind gives us pleasant shade,

The Date’s leaf is as sharp as a blade,

The Teak tree gives us useful wood,

The Mango gives us fruit that is good. 

- Sara Coleridge

From a Railway Carriage

Faster than fairies, faster than witches,

Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;

And charging along like troops in a battle,

All through the meadows the horses and cattle:

All of the sights of the hill and the plain

Fly as thick as driving rain;

And ever again, in the wink of an eye,

Painted stations whistle by.

Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,

All by himself and gathering brambles;

Here is a tramp who stands and gazes;

And there is the green for stringing the daisies!

Here is a cart run away in the road,

Lumping along with man and load;

And here is a mill and there is a river:

Each a glimpse and gone forever!

- Robert Louis Stevenson

Indian Seasons

Summer comes 

          in a blaze of heat

with sunny smiles

  and dusty feet

        

Then seasons change

  to muddy roads

        monsoons and mangoes

leapfrogs and toads

 

                          Spring is pretty

but short and sweet

  when you can smell the grass

from your garden seat

  Autumn is English

in red, yellow and brown

    Autumn is Indian 

whenever leaves fall down

- Nisha Dyrene
