Poem of Rabindranath Tagore on "Rakhi"
The love in my body and heart
For the earth's shadow and light
Has stayed over years.
For the earth's shadow and light
Has stayed over years.
With its cares and its hope it has thrown
A language of its own
Into blue skies.
It lives in my joys and glooms
In the spring night's buds and blooms
Like a Rakhi-band
On the Future's hand.
-Rabindranath Tagore
