Gitanjali 76

Day after day, O Lord of my life,
shall I stand before thee face to face?
With folded hands, O Lord of all worlds,
shall I stand before thee face to face?

Under thy great sky in solitude and silence,
with humble heart shall I stand before thee face to face?
In this laborious world of thine, tumultuous with
toil and with struggle,

among hurring crowds shall I stand before thee face to face?
And when my work shall be done in this world,
O King of kings, alone and speechless
shall I stand before thee face to face?





Rabindranath Tagore
