Gitanjali
Thou hast made me endless, such is thy
Pleasure. This frail vessel thou emptiest
Angain and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life.
This little flute of a reed thou hast
Carried over hills and dales. And hast
Breathed though it melodies eternally new.
At the immortal touch of thy hands my
Little heart looses its limits in joy and gives
Birth to utterance ineffable.
Thy infinite gifts come to me only on
these very small hands of mine. Ages pass
and still thou pourest, and still there is room to fill
2
In one salutation to thee, my God, let
All my senses spread out and touch this
World at thy feet. Like a rain-cloud of july hung low
With its burden of unshed showers let all
My mind bend down at thy door in one
Salutation to thee
Let all my songs gather together
their diverse strains into a single current and
Flow to a sea of silence in one salutation to thee.
Like a flock of homesick cranes flying
Night and day back to their mountain
Nests let all my life take its voyage to its
Eternal home in one salutation to thee.
