In one poem from this collection, the speaker wishes for his country to wake to a place "where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection" and "where the mind is without fear". Its most famous poems include one whose speaker claims "the (*) light of your music / lights up my universe" and the first one, which opens with the line "thou hast made me endless / such is thy pleasure." Many of its poems focus on a relationship with the "lord of my life", or "jivandevata". For 10 points, identify this collection which was published with an encomiastic introduction by W.B. Yeats in 1912, essentially winning the Nobel for its author Rabindranath Tagore.
