Summer Arrives

Summer Arrives


Light, my light, the world-filling light, the
    eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light!
Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the centre of
    my life; the light strikes, my darling, the
    chords of my love; the sky opens, the wind
    runs wild, laughter passes over the earth.
The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of
    light. Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest
    of the waves of light.
The light is shattered into gold on every cloud,
    my darling, and it scatters gems in profusion.
Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling, and
    gladness without measure. The heaven's river
    has drowned its banks and the flood of joy is
    abroad.

Light, My Light, The World-Filling Light by Rabindranath Tagore
