46 (i know not from what)

I KNOW NOT from what distant time thou art ever coming nearer to meet me. Thy sun and stars can never keep thee hidden from me for aye.

In many a morning and eve thy footsteps have been heard and thy messenger has come within my heart and called me in secret.

I know not why to-day my life is all astir, and a feeling of tremulous joy is passing through my heart.

It is as if the time were come to wind up my work, and I feel in the air a faint smell of thy sweet presence.

FAR AS I GAZE at the depth of Thy immensity
I find no trace there of sorrow or death or separation.
Death assumes its aspect of terror
and sorrow its pain
only when, away from Thee,
I turn my face towards my own dark self.
Thou All Perfect,
everything abides at Thy feet
for all time.
The fear of loss only clings to me
with its ceaseless grief,
but the shame of my penury
and my life's burden
vanish in a moment
when I feel Thy presence
in the centre of my being.

Verses

  তম্বুরা কাঁধে নিয়ে
            শর্মা বাণেশ্বর
   ভেবেছিল, তীর্থেই
       যাবে সে থানেশ্বর।
হঠাৎ খেয়াল চাপে গাইয়ের কাজ নিতে--
   বরাবর গেল চলে একদম গাজনিতে,
       পাঠানের ভাব দেখে
            ভাঙিল গানের স্বর।
