Tagore's short poems copied by primary school students

When you ordered me to sing, my heart seemed to explode with pride. I looked up at your face and tears welled up in my eyes.

In my eyes.

All the astringency and contradictions in my life have melted into a sweet and soft homonym-

My praise is like a happy bird flapping its wings across the ocean.

I know you like my singing. I know that only because I am a singer can I walk in front of you.

I touched your feet with the far-reaching wings of my singing, which I never dreamed I would touch.

Drunk in the singing, I forgot myself. You are my master, but I call you a friend.
