Chain Of Pearls Poem by Rabindranath Tagore
Chain Of Pearls
Mother, I shall weave a chain of pearls for thy neck
with my tears of sorrow.
The stars have wrought their anklets of light to deck thy feet,
but mine will hang upon thy breast.
Wealth and fame come from thee
and it is for thee to give or to withhold them.
But this my sorrow is absolutely mine own,
and when I bring it to thee as my offering
thou rewardest me with thy grace.
Chain of pearls for tears of sorrow..... beautiful imagery.
taking the sorrow as the gift to the God! Tagore! You are too great!
But this my sorrow is absolutely mine own- Rabindranath Tagore All happy families are alike but an unhappy family is unhappy after its own fashion- Leo Tolstoy
The homage to motherland is all contained in the sorrows of the child.
I shall weave a chain of pearls for thy neck with my tears of sorrow. - such a really lovely opener and the imagery here was so strong for me. Xx NDS
Breathtaking imagery, ignites the imagination, the opening lines are solid as gold, Tagore professes his love for his mother that is eternally endearing to last a thousand lifetimes. So glad this was chosen as poem of the day
