Read Tagore's poem and analyze the use of apostrophe. Draw a conclusion and write two or three
sentences about the overall effect that apostrophe has
on the reader.
Who are you, reader, reading my poems an.
hundred years hence?
I cannot send you one single flower from this
wealth of the spring, one single streak of golf
from yonder clouds.
Open your doors and look abroad.
From your blossoming garden gather fragrant
memories of the vanished flowers of an
hundred years before.
In the joy of your heart may you feel the livingjoy
that sang one spring morning, sending its
glad voice across an hundred years.
-"85,"
Rabindranath Tagore
