4. Gitanjali
Gitanjali is a collection of poems by the Indian poet
Rabindranath Tagore. The original Bengali collection of
157 poems was published
on August 14,1910. The English Gitanjali is a collection
of 103 English poems of Tagore’s own English
translations of his Bengali poems first published in
November 1912 by the India Society of London.
The English Gitanjali became very famous in the West,
and was widely translated.The word gitanjali is
composed from "git", song, and "anjali", offering, and
thus means – "An offering of songs"

5. Poems
• Some poems involve themes related to nature, but here, too, the
spiritual is subtly present, as in this poem (no. 57), given here along
with the Bengali text in Roman script:
• Light, my light, the world-filling light, the eye-kissing light, heartsweetening light!
• Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the centre of my life; the light
strikes, my darling, the chords of my love; the sky opens, the wind
runs wild, laughter passes over the earth.
• The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light. Lilies and
jasmines surge up on the crest of the waves of light.
• The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling, and it
scatters gems in profusion.
Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling, and gladness without
measure. The heaven's river has drowned its banks and the flood of
joy is abroad
