Analysis of The Gardener LI: Then Finish the Last Song
Rabindranath Tagore 1861 (Kolkata) – 1941 (Kolkata)
Then finish the last song and let us
leave.
Forget this night when the night is
no more.
Whom do I try to clasp in my
arms? Dreams can never be made captive.
My eager hands press emptiness to
my heart and it bruises my breast.
