My Song
My Song - meaning Summary
A Guardian Song for a Child
Tagore addresses a child, promising a personal song that acts as guardian, blessing and companion. The song comforts in solitude, shields in crowds, lifts dreams toward the unknown, and guides perception toward deeper truths. As a faithful presence it becomes a protective light after darkness. Ultimately the poem asserts the song’s an enduring, living inheritance: when the speaker dies, the song will continue to speak in the child’rom within their heart.

When you are alone it will sit by your side and whisper in your ear, when you are in the crowd it will fence you about with aloofness. My song will be like a pair of wings to your dreams, it will transport your heart to the verge of the unknown. It will be like the faithful star overhead when dark night is over your road. My song will sit in the pupils of your eyes, and will carry your sight into the heart of things. And when my voice is silenced in death, my song will speak in your living heart.
