Stray Birds

“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.” Tagore’s poems ring with universal truth. Grounded in tradition and the poet’s philosophical vision, they remain timeless and borderless, as fresh today as they were a century ago. Stray Birds is a poetry collection by Rabindranath Tagore.

About the author

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was an Indian poet, writer, playwright, composer, philosopher, social reformer, and painter who reshaped Bengali literature and music as well as Indian art. In 1913 he became the first non-European and the first lyricist to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. His rejection of rigid classical forms and linguistic strictures enabled him to compose works known for their lyricism, colloquialism, naturalism, and optimism.
