Early in the day it was whispered that we should sail in a boat, <br />only thou and I, and never a soul in the world would know of this our <br />pilgrimage to no country and to no end. <br /> <br />In that shoreless ocean, <br />at thy silently listening smile my songs would swell in melodies, <br />free as waves, free from all bondage of words. <br /> <br />Is the time not come yet? <br />Are there works still to do? <br />Lo, the evening has come down upon the shore <br />and in the fading light the seabirds come flying to their nests. <br /> <br />Who knows when the chains will be off, <br />and the boat, like the last glimmer of sunset, <br />vanish into the night? <br /><br /><br />Rabindranath Tagore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sail-away-2/
