Sundays too my father got up early
and put his clothes on in the blueblack
cold,
then with cracked hands that ached
from labour in the weekday weather made
Banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked
him.

I’d wake and hear the cold splintering,
breaking.
when the rooms were warm, he’d call,
and slowly I would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic angers of that house,
Speaking indifferently to him’
who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
what did I know, what did I know
of love’s austere and lonely offices?

This is a poem about a poor father who is
being fondly remembered by his grown-up son
Even on winter Sundays, the loving father
woke up early in the morning and kindled the fire
with his cracked hands that ached, when
everybody was shivering in the blue-black cold.
He is a lonely figure who makes the cold
atmosphere prevailing in the house warm with
his love’s austere offices.

Parental love and affection are expressed
through simple and gentle acts of care and
kindness such as kindling the fire and polishing
the shoes without expecting others to thank him or
love him. Even the son was thankless to him which
he realized later and felt regret for that.
