Tagore

 

Rabindranath Tagore
1861-1941

 
"My Song"

 

This song of mine will wind its music around you,
  my child, like the fond arms of love.

The song of mine will touch your forehead
  like a kiss of blessing.

When you are alone it will sit by your side and
  whisper in your ear, when you are in the crowd
   it will fence you about with aloofness.

My song will be like a pair of wings to your dreams,
  it will transport your heart to the verge of the unknown.

It will be like the faithful star overhead
  when dark night is over your road.

My song will sit in the pupils of your eyes,
  and will carry your sight into the heart of things.

And when my voice is silenced in death,
  my song will speak in your living heart.
