নিচে কবিতাটির বাংলা অনুবাদ (অর্থসহ) দেওয়া হলো

Mild the mist upon the hill,

পাহাড়ের ওপর হালকা কুয়াশা ছড়িয়ে আছে,

Telling not of storms to-morrow;

যা আগামীকালের ঝড়ের কোনো ইঙ্গিত দেয় না।

No; the day has went its fill

না, এই দিনটি নিজের সমস্ত সময় পূর্ণ করেছে—

Spent its store of silent sorrow.

এটি নিঃশব্দ দুঃখের ভাণ্ডার নিঃশেষ করে দিয়েছে।

Oh, I'm gone back to the days of youth,

আহ্! আমি ফিরে গেছি শৈশবের দিনগুলোতে,

I am a child once more;

আমি যেন আবার এক শিশু হয়ে গেছি;

And 'neath my father's sheltering roof,

আমার পিতার আশ্রয়দায়ক ছাদের নিচে,

And near the old hall door.

ওই পুরনো ঘরের দোরগোড়ায় দাঁড়িয়ে।

I watch this cloudy evening fall,

আমি দেখছি এই মেঘাচ্ছন্ন সন্ধ্যার নামা,

After a day of rain:

বৃষ্টিভেজা একটি দিনের পরে।

Blue mists, sweet mists of summer pall

নীল কুয়াশা, গ্রীষ্মের স্নিগ্ধ কুয়াশা চাদরের মতো

The horizon's mountain-chain.

আকাশের দিগন্ত রেখার পাহাড়ের সারিকে ঢেকে ফেলেছে।

The damp stands in the long, green grass

আদ্রতা জমে আছে দীর্ঘ, সবুজ ঘাসে—

As thick as morning's tears;

যেন সকালের অশ্রুর মতো ঘন।

And dreamy scents of fragrance pass

আর এক স্বপ্নালু, মিষ্টি গন্ধ বয়ে যাচ্ছে

That breathe of other years.

যা অতীতের স্মৃতিময় বছরগুলোর কথা মনে করিয়ে দেয়।

 Explanation of the poem.

This poem is a nostalgic reflection where the speaker is taken back to their childhood memories by the calm and misty atmosphere of a rainy day.

Stanza 1:

The poet begins by describing a mild mist over the hills, suggesting a peaceful and calm mood. The mist doesn't hint at any upcoming storm, showing that nature is at rest. The day has fulfilled its course, carrying a quiet, unspoken sadness. This implies a sort of emotional weight that the day has quietly borne—perhaps mirroring the poet’s own quiet sorrows.

Stanza 2:

The speaker experiences a powerful sense of memory, feeling like a child again. They're mentally transported back to their father’s home, a place of warmth, shelter, and emotional safety. The imagery of the “old hall door” adds a personal, almost sacred sense of belonging.

Stanza 3:

As the evening falls after a rainy day, the poet watches the soft, blue mist settle over the distant mountains. This evokes a dreamlike, serene scene and emphasizes the beauty and calmness of nature after the rain.

Stanza 4:

The final stanza deepens the sensory experience: the grass is damp with moisture, compared to the tears of the morning, adding a subtle emotional layer. The air carries sweet, nostalgic fragrances, which seem to whisper memories from the past, bringing back the essence of earlier times.

Sir,

This is to state that on last Monday I visited your bookstore and had purchased an Oxford Dictionary. I still remember that both the book and the cash memo of it were handed over to me. But unfortunately, I forgot the packet and came back home taking other books which I purchased later. I am sure, by this time you got the book and have kept it with you. If not so, kindly look for my book. You will see the cash memo bearing my name and address. I am coming next week at your bookstore for collection of my book.

I hope you must cooperate with me in this regard.

Thanking you,

                                    Yours faithfully,
