Birpurush is a poem written by Rabindranath Tagore. The poem depicts a child fantasising that he saves his mother from dacoits.In the evening when the sun is set they reach a barren place. There is not a single soul there. Even the cattle have returned home. Plodding silence reigns there. The mother is a bit afraid and wonders where they have arrived! The child assures her and tells there is small river ahead. The mother sees a shimmering light and asks her son about it.
