46 (i seek and seek on)

I SEEK AND SEEK on my harp strings the notes that can blend with thine.

Simple is the awakening of the morning and the flow of water,

simple are the dewdrops on leaves, colours in clouds, the moonlight on sand-banks of the river and showers of rain in the midnight.

I seek notes for my songs simple and full as these, fresh and

flowing with life, old as the world and known to all.

But my strings are newly strung and they bristle with sharp

newness as with spears.

Thus my songs never have the spirit of the winds, they never can

mingle with the lights of the sky.

My effort is an effort and my restless strains try hard to drown thy music.

WHILE THE glass lamp rebukes the earthen for calling it cousin, the moon rises, and the glass lamp, with a bland smile, calls her,'My dear, dear sister.'

YOU CAME TO my door in the dawn and sang; it angered me to be awakened from sleep, and you went away unheeded.
You came in the noon and asked for water; it vexed me in my work, and you were sent away with reproaches.
You came in the evening with your flaming torches.
You seemed to me like a terror and I shut my door.
Now in the midnight I sit alone in my lampless room and call you back whom I turned away in insult.

অবসন্ন দিন তার
      সোনার মুকুট ফেলে খুলে,
মাথা নত করে আসি
      নীরবের মহাবেদীমূলে।
