Analysis of poem - Mewantha ======================= The narrator speaks to the teachers in order for them to understand their mistakes. She requests them to teach the students with compassion. She asks the teachers to Add a spoonful of kindness As thou teaches thy disciple She reminds the teachers when they were young, that they also was fond to hear a kind word or praise given by their teachers. Even if the students are not educated, the teacher must educate them all equally and enrich the pupils with wisdom. The pupils are empty shells. It is the responsibility of the teacher to fill them with knowledge. Not all the children are bright, if this was so, the world would be insane. The pupils mind's are considered to be candles unlit and the teacher should light them with wisdom. The poet asks the teacher to love and care about each and everyone of their children and understand everything about them. Each pupil is unique and different in their own ways. The wisdom that the students gain has no price, but the if the teacher manages to win their hearts, the students can show the price the teacher gave them.
