Gitanjali-46
I KNOW not from 'what distant time
thou art ever coming nearer to meet
me. Thy sun and stars can never keep
thee hidden from me for aye.
In many a morning and eve thy
footsteps have been heard and thy
messenger has come within my heart
and called me in secret.
I know not why to-day my life is all
astir, and a feeling of tremulous joy is
passing through my heart.
It is as if the time were come to
wind up my work, and. I feel in the air
a faint smell of thy sweet presence.
