Gitanjali — Song 32

Gitanjali — Song 32

Rabindranath Tagore

By all means they try to hold me secure who love me in this world. But
it is otherwise with thy love which is greater than theirs, and thou
keepest me free.
Lest I forget them they never venture to leave me alone. But day passes
by after day and thou art not seen.
If I call not thee in my prayers, if I keep not thee in my heart, thy
love for me still waits for my love.
