Gitanjali — Song 84
Gitanjali — Song 84
Rabindranath Tagore
It is the pang of separation that spreads throughout the world and
gives birth to shapes innumerable in the infinite sky.
It is this sorrow of separation that gazes in silence all nights from
star to star and becomes lyric among rustling leaves in rainy darkness
of July.
It is this overspreading pain that deepens into loves and desires, into
sufferings and joy in human homes; and this it is that ever melts and
flows in songs through my poet’s heart.
