Gitanjali, meaning Song Offerings, is a collection of 103 prose poems that Rabindranath Tagore translated into English himself from his Bengali poems, chiefly from the Bengali Gitanjali of 1910. The English book was published in London in 1912 with an introduction by the Irish poet W. B. Yeats, and in 1913 Tagore became the first non-European to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, largely on the strength of it.
