RABINDRANATH TAGORE
I thought for golden poesy In dedicated prose to pay, Veiling impossibility In that old kindly, courteous way.
But all your flowing tide of fame Went singing round my echoing shore When on my page I put your name— And made my debt but tenfold more !
Yea, and the world that holds your praise Moves thus between two powers at feud- Speech that undoes what it essays, And silence like ingratitude.
Yet, since a sacramental hand May sanctify the humblest weed, I lift our love's transforming wand And give intention for the deed;
With one deep wish that, till the set Of sun across your song's wide sea, Our backs may bend with growing debt For your pure golden poesy.
