    Answer:Here is the full poem

    Who are you, reader, reading my poems anhundred years hence?

    I cannot send you one single flower from this

    wealth of the spring, one single streak of gold

    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 living joy

    that sang one spring morning, sending its

    glad voice across an hundred years.

    -"85,"

    Rabindranath Tagore

    Explanation:

    Tagore makes a good attempt at communicating with his readers in this poem.

    Tagore's poem talks about time and old age where an old man serves as the voice of the poem andcommunicates with younger people likean address where the old man is the speaker and the younger people as audience.

    The writer then introduces the use of apostrophe in order to bring us (the Audience) closer to the old man and make the audience part of the peom. We learn that everything we see today has its own origin, uniqueness and beauty.

    The poem is timeless, as it encompasses now, then and the future and still addresses different age group.
