Thoughts In A Tranquil Night Comments

wonderful poem, vivid picture drawn...

nice poem, a good one.

There seem to be many translations of this poem. Here's one from Wikipedia, which seems less fanciful: Quiet night thought at the foot of the bed bright moonlight I imagine frost on the floor raising my head, I gaze at the bright moon lowering my head, I think of the old village

Thank you, Fabrizio Frosini, for the better translation of the same poem. (How many of us knew what 'athwart' meant? I certainly didn't. Thanks to Fabrizio, now I don't have to look it up!)

Not my favorite but has goo imagery for sure.

..............wonderful poem...adding to my favorites ★

The calmness and deem light of moon always make us long for something, it draws our thought to an extra mile from the normal. nice poem.

So frail; with the muse of nature. Nice work.

And sink to dreams of thee my Fatherland, of thee i like this bit. Nice write

Lovely Poem. Patriotic. I like it. I've translated this poem into Bengali for my native readers.

Thoughts are kindled seeing Moon in the night and they turn to the status of the nation too then!
