Rabindranath Tagore
THE GARDENER

Translated by the author from the original Bengali

Preface

Most of the lyrics of love and life, the translations of which
from Bengali are published in this book, were written much
earlier than the series of religious poems contained in the book
named Gitanjali. The translations are not always literal--
the originals being sometimes abridged and sometimes
paraphrased.
