My dearest life, I know you are not mine forever; but do love me even if itโs for this moment. After that I shall vanish into the forest where you cast me, I wonโt ask anyone for anything again. Give me something that can last me till I die.
Rabindranath TagoreAlas, why are my nights all thus lost? Ah, why do I ever miss his sight whose breath touches my sleep?
Rabindranath TagoreIf you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.
Rabindranath TagorePoems On Love Love adorns itself; it seeks to prove inward joy by outward beauty. Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom. Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it. Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.
Rabindranath TagoreGo not to the temple to put flowers upon the feet of God, first fill your own house with the fragrance of love. Go not to the temple to light candles before the altar of God, first remove the darkness of sin from your heart. Go not to the temple to bow down your head in prayer, first learn to bow in humility before your fellow men. Go not to the temple to pray on bended knees, first bend down to lift someone who is down trodden. Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins, first forgive from your heart those who have sinned against you.
