Original text:
Barcos de papel
Tagore
I put the paper boats one by one in the swift stream every day.
I wrote my name and the name of the village where I lived in big black letters on the paper boat.
I hope people living in different places can get this paper boat and know who I am.
I put the beautiful flowers growing in the garden on my boat.
I hope these dawn flowers can be safely brought to the shore at night.
I threw the paper boat into the water and looked up at the sky.
I saw a small cloud covered with white sails of the wind.
I wonder what my playmates are in the sky. Put these boats down and race with me!
When night came, my face was buried in my arm,
I dreamed that my boat was floating slowly under the midnight starlight.
The sleeping fairy sat on the boat with a basket full of dreams.
Extended data:
Paper Boat is a representative song in A Crescent Moon.
This poem is full of childish imagination, and depicts children's naive, lovely and imaginative personality and psychology in detail. In order to highlight imaginary things and various touching patterns and whimsy with children's characteristics, the poet pays attention to the use of restrictive and decorative words.
Tagore believes that love creates the world and the essence of the world is love; Motherly love and children's love are the most sincere and pure emotions of human beings; This feeling is infused in everyone's ordinary life, and too much familiarity often makes it unnoticed or even numb, almost forgotten.
In Crescent Moon, the poet sometimes incarnates innocent and lovely children, and sometimes incarnates gentle and kind mother. Through the children's novel and lively imagination and the mother's pure and loving words, this love is turned into a beautiful concrete image, which has produced fascinating charm.
