Gitanjali-84
IT is the pang of separation that
spreads throughout the world and
gives birth to shapes innumerable in
the infinite sky.
IT is this sorrow of separation that
gazes in silence all night from star to
star and becomes lyric among rustling
leaves in rainy darkness of July.
It is this overspreading pain that.
deepens into loves and desires, into
sufferings and joys in human homes
and this it is that ever melts and flows
in songs through my poet's heart.
