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 |
