The Gardener by Rabindranath Tagore is a poem that tells the story of an old gardener and his special relationship with a tree. The gardener treats the plant as if it were his child, and even talks to it when he is alone. When the plant starts to wither, the gardener realizes he has to cut it down so that it will stop suffering. Through this narrative, Tagore shows how love can bring about pain and loss if not properly handled.
