the character of a mother. In addition, Tagore persuades the adults so that they can support and guide the child.
The second poem, When and Why, shows Tagore’s modesty as an adult.

They are the child’s world, the necessities of creating harmony in the relation of child and poet, the child’s basic character, and the child’s needs of
affection. Also in this poem, the poet presents his guidance for the child and his hope for the child.
The third poem, Benediction, represents poet’s spirituality. In this poem,
the poet presents the child’s character and the poet’s religious relation among the poet, the child and the society. This poem presents a child who is weak, pure and
needs love. The child is the creature who never underestimate others and does not get blinded by power. The child will have many choices in their life. So, the poet
prays for the child so that they will be able to encounter the confusing situation. In addition, the poet also invites the readers to pray for the child.

children since the very beginning stage of education because the children are the nation’s future. Third, education needs support people around it. In conclusion, as
58 the nation’s future, the students must obtain affection from the teacher and also
the people around them. When and Why has some views of education. First, in education there
must be a harmony between students and teachers. In order to do so, teacher must build a good relationship with the students. Second, education is not merely
transferring knowledge from teacher to student, but also in contrary. So, the teachers are able to understand their students and there will be harmony between
them. Third, classroom is not the most important thing in education. The more important thing is creating a good atmosphere. Fourth, a good atmosphere in
education is needed because
students are nation’s future, so they need all the best.
Benediction is the poem, where the writer sees spirituality in education. The first, spirituality is shown in Tagore’s prayer for the students so that they will
be brave to face the world. Second, it contains Tagore’s thought on Upanishad and modern theory of education. This poem reminds the writer that God has the
power above all, especially in teaching.
