Your Flower


From your throne you came down with a flower
a prize, and stood at my cottage door, the corner
I was singing all alone when your ear
picked my melody, my music!

Masters are many in your hall and songs

are sung there at all hours, but a simple carol
a little lament song of this novice mingled
with the great music of the world is your pick!

Adopted from Tagore’s Gitanjali, poem 49
