Rabindranath Tagore - Stray Birds 41 - 50
Work rating: Low

41

THE trees, 

like the longings of the earth,

 stand a-tiptoe to peep at the heaven. 

42

YOU smiled and talked to me of nothing 

and I felt that for this I had been waiting long. 

43

THE fish in the water is silent, 

the animal on the earth is noisy, 

the bird in the air is singing, 

But Man has in him 

the silence of the sea,

 the noise of the earth 

and the music of the air.  

44

THE world rushes on 

over the strings of the lingering heart 

making the music of sadness.  

45

HE has made his weapons his gods.

 When his weapons win he is defeated himself. 

46

GOD finds himself by creating. 

47

SHADOW, 

with her veil drawn,

 follows Light in secret meekness,

 with her silent steps of

 love. 

48

THE stars 

are not afraid to appear like fireflies.  

49

I THANK thee that I am none of the wheels of power 

but I am one with the living creatures 

that are crushed by it.  

50

THE mind,

 sharp but not broad,

 sticks at every point 

but does not move.
