Clouds heap upon clouds
by
Rabindranath Tagore
(Summary)
In this poem, Tagore says that dark clouds
have gathered, one upon another and the day has darkened. He cries out to God
as to why He was making his wait at the door thus, alone. He says, that during
the day, he was with other people, when everybody was busy with their work, but
night is dark and lonely, he fervently longs for him and
hopes, that he would
come. The poet, then, says that if God did not show him his face or if He left
him alone, then he didn't know how to pass the long, lonely and depressing days
of the rainy season. In the last lines of this poem, Tagore says, that how in
his longing for God he keeps gazing at the sky which is dark and gloomy and his
heart cries as the wind, mingling with the sound of wind.
