Poem - "Face To Face" by Rabindranath Tagore

"Face To Face" 
by Rabindranath Tagore


Day after day, O lord of my life,

shall I stand before thee face to face.

With folded hands, O lord of all worlds,

shall I stand before thee face to face.

Under thy great sky in solitude and silence,

with humble heart shall I stand before thee face to face.



In this laborious world of thine, tumultuous with toil

and with struggle, among hurrying crowds

shall I stand before thee face to face.



And when my work shall be done in this world,

O King of kings, alone and speechless

shall I stand before thee face to face.
