“Day after day, O lord of my life, shall I stand before thee face to face.
With folded hands, O lord of all worlds, shall I stand before thee face to face.
Under thy great sky in solitude and silence,
with humble heart shall I stand before thee face to face.
In this laborious world of thine, tumultuous with toil and with struggle,
among hurrying crowds shall I stand before thee face to face.
And when my work shall be done in this world, O King of kings,
alone and speechless shall I stand before thee face to face.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali: Song Offerings
