Fireflies
by Rabindranath Tagore


I touch God in my song
as the hill touches the far-away sea
with its waterfall.

Let my love, like sunlight, surround you
and yet give you illumined freedom.

Love remains a secret even when spoken,
for only a lover truly knows that he is loved.

Emancipation from the bondage of the soil
is no freedom for the tree.

In love I pay my endless debt to thee
for what thou art.
