Long Summary Of The Poem: HIYRNHOE

The name of this poem is 'Heaven If You Are Not Here On Earth" beautifully written by the Poet 'Kuvempu'. This poem is a translation of the Kannada poem 'Swargave, Bhoomiyoliradire Neenu'. This poem reveals the rationalistic outlook of the poet Kuvempu who sees God in Nature. There is no other god for him since he has not been able to see any god nor has anyone else. He Addresses the heaven and says that it cannot be far away in the sky or elsewhere but it has to be on the earth because there no other suitable place for it. We human beings have to be god and heavenly nymphs because there are no other gods and nymphs. Nobody has seen them ever. Nature is God to him, and worship of Nature is worship of God. Nature is bountiful and generous towards Man. All the beautiful things of the earth- the rushing, roaring stream with its sparkling water, the rolling surface at the edge of waves, the tender sunshine falling upon lush green gardens. The great gentle sun warming the earth, the splendor of harvest and of moonlight — all of these makes the earth a heaven. The Poet feels that there cannot be anything more beautiful to constitute a heaven. As the proverb goes, 'beauty is in the eyes of the beholder'. The Poets, being more sensitive, can see more than others. It is the poet, who, as the Kannada saying reveals, can see what the sun cannot see, and, by expressing everything in wonderful language, points out the beauty of earth to everyone. . By articulating his profound, noble thoughts, he creates Heaven on Earth.
