3645323The Gardener — 211913Rabindranath Tagore

Why did he choose to come to my door, the wandering youth, when the day dawned?
As I come in and out I pass by him everytime, and my eyes are caught by his face.
I know not if I should speak to him or keep silent.
Why did he choose to come to my door?

The cloudy night in July are dark; the sky is soft blue in autumn; the spring days are restless with the south wind.
He weaves his songs with fresh tunes every time.
I turn from my work and my eyes fill with the mist.
Why did he choose to come to my door?
