Invite Me


I have had my invitation to this world’s
festival, and my life has been blessed
and my eyes have seen
and my ears have heard.

At this feast my part was to play

my instrument and I have done my best.
Now I ask you, at last, that I may go in to see

your face and offer you my silent salutation.

Adopted from Tagore’s Gitanjali, poem 16
