আজি      গন্ধবিধুর সমীরণে
       কার         সন্ধানে ফিরি বনে বনে।
                    আজি  ক্ষুব্ধ নীলাম্বর-মাঝে
                    এ কী  চঞ্চল ক্রন্দন বাজে।
                    সুদূর দিগন্তের সকরুণ সংগীত
                             লাগে মোর চিন্তায় কাজে--
                    আমি খুঁজি কারে অন্তরে মনে
                             গন্ধবিধুর সমীরণে।
       ওগো        জানি না কী নন্দনরাগে
       সুখে        উৎসুক যৌবন জাগে।
                    আজি  আম্রমুকুলসৌগন্ধ্যে,
                    নব-     পল্লব-মর্মর ছন্দে,
       চন্দ্র-কিরণ-সুধা-সিঞ্চিত অম্বরে
                    অশ্রু-সরস মহানন্দে
       আমি  পুলকিত কার পরশনে
              গন্ধবিধুর সমীরণে।

I THINK I shall stop startled if ever we meet after our next birth, walking in the light of a far-away world.
        I shall know those dark eyes then as morning stars, and yet feel that they have belonged to some unremembered evening sky of a former life.
        I shall know that the magic of your face is not all its own, but has stolen the passionate light that was in my eyes at some immemorial meeting, and then gathered from my love a mystery that has now forgotten its origin.

BLESSINGS HAVE I won in this life
of the Beautiful.
In the vessel of man's affection I taste His own divine nectar.
Sorrow, hard to bear,
has shown me the unhurt, unconquered soul.
On the day when I felt death's impending shadow,
fear's defeat has not been mine.
The great ones of the Earth
have not deprived me of their touch,
their undying words have I stored in my heart.
Grace I had from the god of life:
this memory let me leave
in grateful words.
