Gitanjali 25: In the night of weariness let me give
Translated by Rabindranath Tagore (1912) · From Gitanjali (1912)
In the night of weariness let me give myself up to sleep without struggle, resting my trust upon thee.
Let me not force my flagging spirit into a poor preparation for thy worship.
It is thou who drawest the veil of night upon the tired eyes of the day to renew its sight in a fresher gladness of awakening.
