Tagore brought to Indian poetry an atmosphere of serenity, sacredness, closeness and intimacy. It expresses the delicate vibrations in the poet’s soul towards the country, homeland, nature, life, people and love in a passionate and earnest tone. His poetry also contains profound philosophies about the universe, people, life, happiness and love. The lyrical - philosophical blend is difficult to separate in a poem by Tagore. Many of his works are included in textbooks in the general education program in Vietnam such as: Clouds and Waves, Poem No. 28 and so on.
