Daily Poem: From “Gitanjali” ~ Rabindranath Tagore
From “Gitanjali”
Rabindranath Tagore
Light, my light, the world-filling light, the
eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light!
Ah, the light dances, my darling,
at the centre of my life; the light strikes, my darling,
the chords of my love; the sky opens, the wind
runs wild, laughter passes over the earth.
The butterflies spread their sails on the sea
of light. Lilies and jasmines surge up on the
crest of the waves of light.
The light is shattered into gold on every
cloud, my darling, and it scatters gems
in profusion.
Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling,
and gladness without measure. The heaven’s river
has drowned its banks and the flood of joy is abroad.
