Rabindranath Tagore

Unending Love

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times...

In life after life, in age after age, forever.

My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,

That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,

In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain,

It's ancient tale of being apart or together.

As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,

Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time.

You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.

At the heart of time, love of one for another.

We have played along side millions of lovers,

Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting,
the distressful tears of farewell,

Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

They who are near to me do not know that
You are nearer to me than they are.

They who speak to me do not know that
My heart is full with Your unspoken words.

They who crowd in my path do not know that
I am walking alone with You.

They who love me do not know that
Their love brings You to my heart.

Rabindranath Tagore 1861-1941
