Rabindranath Tagore - Our MeetingRabindranath Tagore - Our Meeting
Work rating: Medium


Two of us once met Where the streams of life and death had stopped Where time stood still. Today it is so far and away Now I am sailing alone My boat is rocking in the storm I now remember again How once we met At the end of the world Where had descended the heaven. Forgetting all We sat there side by side That day I realized What sways the blades of grass Throughout the world In what delight everything shivers; In the dark how shine stars; In what great urge The breaths of life rush That day I realized When we woke up and looked at each other’s face. Taking your hand in my hand I kept looking at the sky We had no words And didn’t know how our time passed That day I had realized in my heart of hearts Where end the meanings of our words How music rises from the core of the universe How the pining woods blossom into flowers These we realized when both of us wept In endless pleasure. Then we came to know in what fire Silently burn the winds of spring Why the morning sun Yearns to get lost in everything Why day and night the river runs To meet the sea Why the lightning is hurt by its own light What game the night plays with dawn Accepting defeat All these we realized When with each other we played Staking our everything.
