Rabindranath Tagore

Parting Words

When I go from hence
let this be my parting word,
that what I have seen is unsurpassable.
 
I have tasted of the hidden honey of this lotus
that expands on the ocean of light,
and thus am I blessed
——let this be my parting word.
 
In this playhouse of infinite forms
I have had my play
and here have I caught sight of him that is formless.
 
My whole body and my limbs
have thrilled with his touch who is beyond touch;
and if the end comes here, let it come
——let this be my parting word.
