Stray Birds

First published in 1916, Rabindranath Tagore's Stray Birds is a treasure of quiet wisdom — 326 tiny poems that sparkle like dew on morning grass. This edition presents the complete original text in fresh, clear modern English that preserves the spirit and grace of Tagore's voice. Each verse is a glimpse: a bird's flight, a fallen flower, a meeting of eyes across a crowd. Together they form a gentle meditation on life, love, nature, and the eternal. Tagore's words invite you to pause, breathe, and see the world anew — without haste or agenda. Whether you open the book at random or read it through, you will find moments of recognition, comfort, and quiet joy. Part of The Modern Wisdom Library.
