Love
The Gardener 51: Then finish the last song and let us
Translated by Rabindranath Tagore (1915) · From The Gardener (1915)
Love
Then finish the last song and let us leave.
Forget this night when the night is no more.
Whom do I try to clasp in my arms? Dreams can never be made captive.
My eager hands press emptiness to my heart and it bruises my breast.
