    Yes, there will be singing!

    During difficult and dark times, what is the role of poetry? How do the times we live in affect the poems that are written? And how can we extend our understanding of a poem by accounting for the context? We discuss these big questions by reading a poem in a little child's voice, written by Rabindranath Tagore.
