Round 4: Tossup 3

A poem by this author ends by reflecting on how “Ages pass, and still thou pourest, and still there is room to fill.” This poet described a “dispenser of … destiny” in a five-stanza hymn that he called a “morning song.” This author (-5[1])compares himself to a boat and a reed flute at the beginning of a collection whose 103 poems are known by their numbers. This poet’s line “thou hast made me endless” (10[1])opens a collection that he translated under the title “Song Offerings.” The refrain “victory, (10[1])victory, victory to thee” ends each stanza in a poem by this author that was adapted into the nationalist song “Jana Gana Mana.” For 10 points, name this Bengali poet (10[1])of Gitanjali. ■END■ (0[1])
