Stray Birds 21- 30 Rabindranath Tagore

21

THEY throw their shadows before them
who carry their lantern on their back.

22

THAT I exist
is a perpetual surprise
which is life.

23

'WE, the rustling leaves,
have a voice that answers the storms,
but who are you so silent?'
'I am a mere flower.'

24

REST belongs to the work
as the eyelids to the eyes.

25

MAN is a born child,
his power is the power of growth.
