Gitanjali-33
WHEN it was day they came into my
house and said, "We shall only take
the smallest room here."
They said, "We shall help you in
the worship of your God and humbly
accept only our own share of his
grace"; and then they took their seat
in a corner and they sat quiet. and
meek.
But in the darkness of night 1 find
they break into my sacred shrine,
strong and turbulent, and snatch with
unholy greed the offerings from God's
altar.
