Oh, I long to cherish a secret, just like a summer cloud wrapped in raindrops that have not fallen-a secret wrapped in silence, with which I can roam the world.
Oh, I long to sleep in the sun in the forest, where the streams are gurgling and there are people listening to my soft words.
Tonight's silence seems to be expecting a burst of footsteps; You asked me why I shed tears.
I can't explain it to you because it is still an unsolved mystery to me.
To you, I am like the night, a little flower.
All I can give you is the quiet and sleepless silence hidden in the dark.
In the morning, when you open your eyes, I will leave you to a world where bees are buzzing and birds are chirping.
My last gift to you will be a tear that falls into the depths of your youth, making your smile sweeter; When the exultation of the day is cruel, it will turn into mist and cover your charming face.

Creative background:
Tagore lived and wrote in the era of Indian national catastrophe and Indian people rising up against British colonialists and feudal reactionary rulers.
As a realistic writer, Tagore has a keen sense of the times. He can stand on the height of the times, profoundly expose the evils of British colonialists and feudal ruling classes, and widely reflect the strong anti-colonial and anti-feudal struggle spirit of the Indian people.
Although there are some short prose poems in the collection of gossamer, some condemn the atrocities of reactionary rulers, and some are full of optimism, courage to struggle and courage to win. These prose poems are full of the passion of the times, beating the pulse of the times and expressing the good wishes and fighting spirit of the Indian people.
