XXI
I WILL meet one day the Life within me, the joy that hides in my life,
though the days perplex my path with their idle dust.
I have known it in glimpses, and its fitful breath has come upon me, making
my thoughts fragrant for a while.
I will meet one day the Joy without me that dwells behind the screen of
light--and will stand in the overflowing solitude where all things are seen as by their creator.
I WILL meet one day the Life within me, the joy that hides in my life,

I have known it in glimpses, and its fitful breath has come upon me, making
my thoughts fragrant for a while.
I will meet one day the Joy without me that dwells behind the screen of
light--and will stand in the overflowing solitude where all things are seen as by their creator.
Rabindranath Tagore
