By all means they try to hold me secure who love me in this world. <br />But it is otherwise with thy love which is greater than theirs, <br />and thou keepest me free. <br /> <br />Lest I forget them they never venture to leave me alone. <br />But day passes by after day and thou art not seen. <br /> <br />If I call not thee in my prayers, if I keep not thee in my heart, <br />thy love for me still waits for my love.<br /><br />Rabindranath Tagore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/free-love/
