Stray Birds (1916) is a collection of poems by Rabindranath Tagore.
Translated into English by Tagore after he received the 1913 Nobel
Prize in Literature, Stray Birds is a powerful collection of short
poems by a master of Indian literature. "Stray birds of summer come
to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn,
which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh." The poems
of Stray Birds are a masterclass in clarity and concision. Like
birds themselves, they flutter across the sky of the page before
passing beyond the limit of sight. In prayer, in celebration, and
in evocations of the natural world, Tagore comes as close to the
truth as possible, catching a glimpse before it can fly away
forever: "Let me live truly, my Lord, so that death to me become
true." In plainspoken language, Tagore gives voice to the soul.
With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of Rabindranath Tagore's Stray Birds is a
classic of Indian literature reimagined for modern readers.
