Paper boat Tagore
I put a paper boat every day.
One by one in the torrent.
I use big black letters.
Write down my name and the name of the village where I live on the paper boat.
I hope
People who live in different places will get this paper boat,
Know who I am.
I planted beautiful flowers in the garden.
Planted on my boat,
I hope these flowers bloom at dawn.
Can be safely brought to the shore at night.
I threw the paper boat into the water,
Looking up at the sky,
See little clouds
White sails full of wind.
I don't know
What is my playmate in the sky?
Put down these boats and race with me!
Night arrival,
My face is buried in my arm,
Dreaming of my boat
Floating slowly forward under the midnight starlight.
The sleeping fairy is sitting on the boat,
With a basket full of dreams.
Appreciating the whole poem has created an innocent child image for us and expressed the theme of love and beauty that the author has been paying attention to. This innocent expression of childlike innocence can awaken the warmth in readers' hearts. In the whole poem, an image is a paper boat, which starts with a paper boat and ends with seeing a paper boat in a dream, with scenes and associations in the middle. The paper boat is not only a small sustenance of the little hero, but also a metaphor of the media leading to the outside world and the future. It is in the connection with the paper boat that the little hero shows his curiosity and innocence. The whole poem is natural, simple and beautiful, with the style of pastoral poetry. This can also be realized from some images used in the poem, such as streams, villages, gardens, beautiful flowers and so on. These images, natural or close to nature, create an unpretentious atmosphere for the whole poem, which is different from the innocent little hero and paper.
The form of this poem is not metrical, but prose, which makes the expression of this poem more free, but it is not lacking in poetry. In fact, every sentence and sentence has an inherent rhythm and rhythm, which naturally blends with the images and themes to be expressed, making this well-known poem.
