Homework Help: literature

Posted by klarmaesen on Thursday, July 22, 2010 at 9:16am.

Can anyone find me the real title of this poem by Rabindranath Tagore?

"Thou tanglest my heart in a hundred nooses of love,
What is this thy play?
It is but a little feeble life--
Why so many bonds to bind it?
At every turn and every moment
Thou winnest my love with thy wiles, but has none to give, thou stealer of hearts!
I wander about in search of thy heart.
O cruel nature;"....

That is the first stanza. In our book, it says that the title of the poem is "To Nature" but I think its wrong coz I can't find it in the net....

Please help! Thanks!

Is there any analysis about this poem? What's the poem all about?

Have you read it?

Analysis needs to come from YOU -- what YOU THINK as you read it. If you're unsure how to read a poem and get meaning out of it, follow the steps here:

(Don't worry about the explication part of it until/unless you are instructed to write an explication.)
