The Gardener by Rabindranath Tagore

5.0

"Does the earth, like a harp, shiver into songs with the touch of my feet?

Is it true that the dewdrops fall from the eyes of, night when I am seen, and the morning light is glad when it wraps my body round?

It is true, is it true, that your love travelled alone through ages and world's in search of me?

That when you found me at last, your age-long desire found utter peace in my gentle speech and my eyes and lips and flowing hair?"

The Gardener by Rabindranath Tagore is a collection of eighty-five translated Bengali poems. It is one of the most beautiful collections of poetry I have ever read. I absolutely cannot wait to read more of Tagore.
