2) Write down the theme of the following poem (Not more than 50 words). 08
Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a pained ship,
Upon a Painted ocean.
Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere.
Nor any drop to drink.
Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a pained ship,
Upon a Painted ocean.
Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere.
Nor any drop to drink.
Answer: The lines indicate that the speaker is on ship and the ship stucked in a ocean for several days. The ocean is like painted. The speaker and his companions cannot move further. The ship is as motionless as a ship painted in a picture. They are almost dying of thirst but tragedy is that having limitless water around them they cannot even drink a drop of water.
