The dragon's lair

A personal collection of verse

Gitanjali 25

Rabindranath Tagore


In the night of weariness let me give myself up to sleep without struggle, resting my trust upon thee.
Let me not force my flagging spirit into a poor preparation for thy worship.
It is thou who drawest the veil of night upon the tired eyes of the day to renew its sight in a fresher gladness of awakening.

translated by: Rabindranath Tagore
