Features: Holding the fruits, singing the song of vibrant and fresh life. The flowers of joy and light bloom, the fruits of life and love are nurtured. A command, and I will gather the fruits in basket after basket and deliver them to your courtyard, though some have fallen, and some are yet to ripen. A command, and I will set sail on the river. March's wind is restless, stirring the weary waves with a rustling sound. The orchard has yielded all its fruits in this tired evening. On the shore under the setting sun, a call echoes from your house. In my youth, my life was like a flower—when the gentle spring breeze knocks at her door, she shakes off a few petals from her opulence, feeling no loss at all. Now that youth has passed, my life is like a fruit, with nothing left to give, only waiting to be completely dedicated, along with its sweet burden. Fruit-Gathering is another famous collection of poems by Tagore, renowned alongside Stray Birds, The Gardener, The Crescent Moon, and Gitanjali. It celebrates life with passionate language and reflects on its essence. The poems are elegant in tone and profound in philosophy, moving countless Chinese readers. These works are filled with optimism and a vibrant energy, expressing the author's hopeful and steadfast confidence in the pursuit of ideals. They allow you to savor the genuine emotions of life and taste the sweet fruits of life through a string of delightful and nourishing words.
