IN ONE SALUTATION TO THEE, MY GOD (FROM GITANJALI)
By Rabindranath Tagore
Sri Sri Sitaramdas Omkarnath
English version by Rabindranath Tagore Original Language Bengali

In one salutation to thee, my God,
let all my senses spread out and touch this world at thy feet.
Like a rain-cloud of July hung low with its burden of unshed showers

let all my mind bend down at thy door in one salutation to thee.
Let all my songs gather together their diverse strains

into a single current and flow to a sea of silence in one salutation to thee.
Like a flock of homesick cranes flying night and day

back to their mountain nests
let all my life take its voyage to its eternal home in one salutation to thee.
