So respected has Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore's writings and philosophy been that he was the first Easterner to win the Nobel Prize. Though "Gitanjali" and "The Gardener" rank among his most famous works, this little gem is not to be overlooked. Tagore shows a sympathetic understanding of children's feelings and fantasy akin to Robert Louis Stevenson ("A Child's Garden of Verse"), Janusz Korczak ("King Matt" and "When I Am Little Again"), and Federico Garcia Lorca ("The Cricket Sings") in such poems as "The Home" and "Cresent Moon." Tagore's voice is one of patience, empathy, and tenderness.
