Fruit-Gathering 6: Where roads are made I lose my way

by Rabindranath Tagore 1861–1941

Translated by Rabindranath Tagore (1916) · From Fruit-Gathering (1916)

Religion

Where roads are made I lose my way.

In the wide water, in the blue sky there is no line of a track.

The pathway is hidden by the birds' wings, by the star-fires, by the flowers of the wayfaring seasons.

And I ask my heart if its blood carries the wisdom of the unseen way.
