Prabhat Sangeet is a collection of Bengali poetry by poet Rabindranath Tagore.[1] The book was first published in 1883[2] and was followed by Tagore's earlier work Sandhya Sangeet (1882[3]).[4] This works also marks the end of the second stage of Tagore's poetic career.[5]
Theme
In this book the poet celebrated the nature and joyousness of the world.[4] He also revisited his childhood. Tagore explained: "At last one day, I do not know how, the bolted door was broken open and I got back what I had lost. I did not merely get it back but through the barrier of separation, got a fuller idea of it. That is why I got much more when in the Prabhat Sangeet, I got back the world of my childhood. Thus easy access to nature followed by separation and reunion marked the end of an episode in the first chapter of my life."[5]
