Love
The Gardener 60: Amidst the rush and roar of life
Translated by Rabindranath Tagore (1915) · From The Gardener (1915)
Love
Amidst the rush and roar of life, O Beauty, carved in stone, you stand mute and still, alone and aloof.
Great Time sits enamoured at your feet and murmurs:
"Speak, speak to me, my love; speak, my bride!"
But your speech is shut up in stone, O Immovable Beauty!
