The Piano Written By David Herbert Lawrence
- Summary:-
The poem is starting with a romantic atmosphere. At one evening where two persons a man and a woman are sitting in a room. The woman who is a singer is singing and playing the piano softly for the poet (who is the other person in the room). Her song takes the poet back to his early childhood period where he sees himself as a small child sitting under the piano as his mother sings. His mother pure smiles at him and continues playing the piano as he presses her feet.However, he can’t control himself by hearing the songs. It takes him back to his boyhood. He mentions that it is very cold outside as its winter and he is in his warm and comfortable room. All his family members are together as well this Sunday evening singing hymns while being guided by the piano.
In the third stanza, the poet doesn’t want to listen to the music anymore and considers the woman’s song to be shout. Because the music has done its task which is to take the poet back to his happy past where he wants to be lost with those happy memories and forget about the present completely. He doesn’t find her music sweet anymore and says is a waste for her to play the piano with deep feeling.

"A child sitting under the piano,in the boom of the tingling strings,
And pressing the small."
