Tagore: My Heart Beats her Waves at the Shore

The world speaks to me in pictures,

my soul answers in music.


Wayside grass, love the star, then your dreams

will come out in flowers.

My heart beats her waves at the shore of the world

and writes upon it her signature in tears

with the words, 'I love thee.'



Let my love, like sunlight, surround you and

yet give you illumined freedom.


He who does good comes to the temple gate,

He who loves reaches the shrine.
