ওঁ
                                      শান্তিনিকেতন
রানী ও প্রশান্ত
          বর্ষ পরে বর্ষ গেছে চ'লে
      ছন্দ গাঁথিয়াছি আমি তোমাদের মিলনমঙ্গলে।
      এবার দিনের অন্তে বিরল ভাষার আশীর্বাণী
          রবির স্নেহের স্পর্শ আনি
          পশ্চিমের ক্লান্ত রশ্মি হতে
যোগ দিল তোমাদের আনন্দিত গৃহের আলোতে।

You WILL LEAD me from star to star to waken me in new mornings of love.
It is your love that draws out the flow of my being through the
maze of channels of new life over your endless worlds.
You will startle me with new visions of fulfilment at every bend
of the road and fashion my moments with immortal forms of joy.
The infinite life will never remain chained in unchanging
shackles of immortality but will speed through death to
death to countless new shrines of light in its eternal pilgrimage of love.

MY LIFE WHEN young was like a flower-a flower that loosens a petal or two from her abundance and never feels the loss when the spring breeze comes to beg at her door.
Now at the end of youth my life is like a fruit, having nothing to spare and waiting to offer herself completely with her full burden of sweetness
