Rabindranath Tagore Poems
Mother, the folk who live up in the clouds call out to me-
"We play from the time we wake till the day ends.
We play with the golden dawn, we play with the silver moon."
I ask, "But how am I to get up to you ?"
...
I ask for a moment's indulgence to sit by thy side. The works
that I have in hand I will finish afterwards.
Away from the sight of thy face my heart knows no rest nor respite,
...
I wish I could take a quiet corner in the heart of my baby's very
own world.
I know it has stars that talk to him, and a sky that stoops
down to his face to amuse him with its silly clouds and rainbows.
...
Time is endless in thy hands, my lord.
There is none to count thy minutes.
Days and nights pass and ages bloom and fade like flowers.
...
I thought that my voyage had come to its end
at the last limit of my power,---that the path before me was closed,
that provisions were exhausted
and the time come to take shelter in a silent obscurity.
...
Rabindranath Tagore Quotes
“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”

“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.”
“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.”
“It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to be simple.”
Rabindranath Tagore Comments
Westerners reading Tagore's poems here in English translation will not fully understand his true poetic genius. His poems in original Bengali are a musical and aesthetic delight. Tagore was not only a poet, but also a painter and singer. He used to sing his poems in his melodious voice. His words emanate from the very depth of human heart and speak universal truth. Here is a poet of utter compassion, in whose compositions you will never find a tinge of narrowness or bigotry. Like the legendary Soma and Homa birds of the Vedas, his consciousness remained always aloft.
For me he is the best poet that I have never seen in the past decades.
He had known about our heart. thus he wrote for us...........for that reason we always get a similarity of his poem with a situation in which we are belonged sometime........
His magic wording reflects what we all are experiencing nowadays.It’s immuable quotes help make us ponder more.
