In desperate hope I go and search for her <br />in all the corners of my room; <br />I find her not. <br /> <br />My house is small <br />and what once has gone from it can never be regained. <br /> <br />But infinite is thy mansion, my lord, <br />and seeking her I have to come to thy door. <br /> <br />I stand under the golden canopy of thine evening sky <br />and I lift my eager eyes to thy face. <br /> <br />I have come to the brink of eternity from which nothing can vanish <br />---no hope, no happiness, no vision of a face seen through tears. <br /> <br />Oh, dip my emptied life into that ocean, <br />plunge it into the deepest fullness. <br />Let me for once feel that lost sweet touch <br />in the allness of the universe. <br /><br /><br />Rabindranath Tagore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/brink-of-eternity/
