Poem - "Closed Path" by Rabindranath Tagore

"Closed Path" 
by Rabindranath Tagore


I thought that my voyage had come to its end


at the last limit of my power,---that the path before me was closed,

that provisions were exhausted

and the time come to take shelter in a silent obscurity.

But I find that thy will knows no end in me.

And when old words die out on the tongue,

new melodies break forth from the heart;

and where the old tracks are lost,

new country is revealed with its wonders.
