Poems and Sayings of Rabindranath Tagore

  1. It shall be my endeavour to reveal thee in my actions,
    knowing it is thy power gives me strength to act.
     
  2. God grows weary of great kingdoms, but never of little flowers.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. Ask not what I have with me to take there.
    I start on my journey with empty hands and expectant heart.
     
  5. This is my prayer to thee,
    my lord - strike, strike at the root of penury in my heart.
    Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows.
    Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.
    Give me the strength never to disown the poor
    or bend my knees before insolent might.
    Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles.
    And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love.
     
  6. A smile of mirth spread over the sky
    when you dressed my heart in rags
    and sent her forth into the road to beg.
    She went from door to door, and many a time
    when her bowl was nearly full she was robbed.
    At the end of the weary day
    she came to your palace gate holding up her pitiful bowl,
    and you came and took her hand
    and seated her beside you on your throne.
     
  7. Night's darkness is a bag that bursts with the gold of the dawn.
     
  8. In one salutation to thee, my God,
    let all my senses spread out
    and touch this world at thy feet.
     
  9. "I give my whole water in joy," sings the waterfall,
    "though little of it is enough for the thirsty."
     
  10. Release me from my unfulfilled past
    clinging to me from behind making death difficult.
     
  11. Bees sip honey from flowers and hum their thanks when they leave.
    The gaudy butterfly is sure that the flowers owe thanks to him.
     
  12. The clouds fill the watercups of the river, hiding themselves in the distant hills.
     
  13. The little flower lies in the dust. It sought the path of the butterfly.
     
  14. Let me live truly, my Lord, so that death to me become true.
