Sonar Tori ( Bengali Edition )

"Sonar Tari" or "The Golden Boat", published in 1894, is one of the most celebrated collection of poems of Rabindranath Tagore during the Shelaidaha years and his first popular success. The first title poem is relatively brief - the poet sits "sad and alone on the bare riverbank, sheaves of cut paddy waiting beside him. A boat approaches steered by a mysterious figure, who agrees to load the paddy".
