The Patriot (1855)

Robert Browning (1812-1889)

An Old Story

I

It was roses, roses, all the way,
With myrtle mixed in my path like mad:
The house-roofs seemed to heave and sway,
The church-spires flamed, such flags they had,
A year ago on this very day.

II

The air broke into a mist with bells,
The old walls rocked with the crowd and cries.
Had I said, ‘Good folk, mere noise repels –
But give me your sun from yonder skies!’
They had answered, ‘And afterward, what else?’

III

Alack, it was I who leaped at the sun
To give it my loving friends to keep!
Naught man could do, have I left undone:
And you see my harvest, what I reap
This very day, now a year is run.

IV

There’s nobody on the house-tops now –
Just a palsied few at the windows set;
For the best of the sight is, all allow,
At the Shambles’ Gate – or, better yet,
By the very scaffold’s foot, I trow.

V

I go in the rain, and, more than needs,
A rope cuts both my wrists behind;
And I think, by the feel, my forehead bleeds,
For they fling, whoever has a mind,
Stones at me for my year’s misdeeds.

VI

Thus I entered, and thus I go!
In triumphs, people have dropped down dead.
‘Paid by the world, what dost thou owe
Me?’ – God might question; now instead,
‘Tis God shall repay: I am safer so.

Robert Browning wrote The Patriot to show how quickly people's opinions can change and how fame and power can be temporary. The poem tells the story of a person who was once celebrated and loved by everyone but later faces rejection and punishment. Browning wanted to explore themes like human nature, the unfairness of life, and the idea that true justice may come after death. He wanted readers to think about how people treat each other and the deeper meaning of success and failure.

The poem is written as a dramatic monologue, where the speaker reflects on their rise and fall over one year. It is divided into six stanzas.

Stanza 1

The speaker remembers a time when they were celebrated like a hero. People threw flowers, waved flags, and cheered for them. Everyone loved and admired the speaker, and it felt like they were on top of the world.

Stanza 2

The speaker recalls how the people trusted them completely. They felt so powerful that they believed they could achieve impossible things, like bringing down the sun from the sky for the people. It shows their confidence and the people's overwhelming support.

Stanza 3

Now, the tone changes. The speaker talks about how everything has gone wrong. Instead of being celebrated, they are being punished. The crowd that once cheered for them has turned against them.

Stanza 4

The speaker describes their punishment. They are being led through the streets, humiliated, and mocked. People throw stones at them, showing how much public opinion has changed.

Stanza 5

Despite the betrayal and suffering, the speaker remains calm. They reflect on how unpredictable life is and accept that their good deeds may not be rewarded on Earth.

Reflection

I

একদিন ছিল রঙিন ফুলের পথ,
জয়ধ্বনি ভাসতো, উদিত সূর্যের মতো।
বাড়ির ছাদে ছিল মানুষের ঢেউ,
পথে পথে পতাকা, যেন উজ্জ্বল এক দেবলোক।
সেই দিন আজ থেকে ঠিক এক বছর আগের।

II

হাওয়া ছিল ঘণ্টাধ্বনিতে মিশে,
প্রাচীন প্রাচীর কেঁপে উঠেছিল জনতার গানে।
যদি বলতাম, ‘শুধু শব্দে নয়,
আমায় আকাশ থেকে সূর্য এনে দাও!’
তারা বলত, ‘তাহলে এরপর কী আনবো, হে প্রিয়?’

III

হায়! সূর্যের পেছনে আমি দৌড়েছিলাম,
তাদের জন্য, যারা আমার প্রিয়।
মানুষ যা করতে পারে, সব করেছি,
আজ দেখো, সেই চেষ্টার ফল কী পেলাম
এই দিন, ঠিক এক বছর পর।

IV

আজ আর কেউ নেই ছাদের উপর,
শুধু বৃদ্ধ কয়েকজন জানালায় বসে।
সেরা দৃশ্য সবাই বলে, এখন দেখা যায়,
যেখানে মৃত্যুর মঞ্চ – অথবা,
শিরদাঁড়ার ঠিক নিচে।

V

আমি চলি বৃষ্টিতে, আর প্রয়োজনের বেশি,
দড়ি বাঁধা আমার দুই হাত পেছনে।
মাথা থেকে রক্ত ঝরে, এমন মনে হয়,
পথের পাষাণের আঘাতে।
কেউ ছুঁড়ে মারে, যে-ই চায়।

VI

এইভাবে এলাম, আর এইভাবেই যাই!
জয়মাল্য নিয়ে কতজন মরেছে পথে।
‘পৃথিবী দিয়েছে দাম, তুমি কি করেছ
আমার জন্য?’ – ঈশ্বর জানতে চায়।
আমি বলি, ‘ঈশ্বরের হাতে ঋণ চুকবে।
আমি এখন নিরাপদ।

a crowd of people holding american flags and umbrellas
a crowd of people holding american flags and umbrellas
Song that says distinctity

Paglaayi paglaayi duniya ye logon ko
paRhti hai akhbaaron ki hi tarah
dekhein wo jismon se aage bhi thoRa sa
baaton ke peechhe bhi jhaankein zaraa

This crazy, crazy world,
reads people like newspapers only.
I wish they see a little beyond bodies too,
that they see a bit behind what is said too.

Jo hai chhupa jo na paRhaa
kitna kuchh hai aisa likhaa
nazron mein jo aaya nahi
duniya waalon ko na dikhaa

So much is written,
that is hidden, unread,
which is not seen,
that the world couldn't see.

tere jaisa tu hai
mere jaisi main hoon
tere jaisa tu hai
mere jaisi main hoon
tere mere jaisa
koi hoga kyun
tere jaisa tu hai
mere jaisi main hoon

You are like yourself,
I'm like myself.
Why would anyone be like you and me?
You are like yourself,
I'm like myself.

chamkeele kaagaz si
muskaanein hain in honThon pe
bemaani saa marham
jaise ho in choTon pe

there are smiles like shining paper
on my lips.
as if there is a meaningless balm
on these wounds.

sach mein kabhi hans na sake
khul ke ro bhi paate nahi
kya rog hai hum kyun bhala
jo hain wo ho jaate nahi.

we aren't able to laugh really,
nor can we cry openly.
what's our problem,
why don't we become what we really are?

tere jaisa tu hai
mere jaisi main hoon
tere jaisa tu hai
mere jaisi main hoon
tere mere jaisa
koi hoga kyun
tere jaisa tu hai
mere jaisi main hoon

sapnon se tu zinda
sapnon se hi main zinda hoon
jhooThi si duniya ki
parwaah humne karni hi kyun

you are alive because of your dreams,
and I'm alive because of my dreams.
why do we have to care about the lying world.

kuchh khaas hai, kuch khoob hai
tujh mein tujhko hai ye khabar
ek dosti sach se, qareeb
dooja saathi tera sabar

there is something special, something great,
in you, do you know that?
one, you are friends with truth,
and second, patience is your friend.

tere jaisa tu hai
mere jaisi main hoon
tere jaisa tu hai
mere jaisi main hoon
tere mere jaisa
koi hoga kyun
tere jaisa tu hai
mere jaisi main hoon
