My Gift to You
by Tagore
 

I want to give you something my love
For we are drifting in different streams of the world
Our lives will be carried apart
And our love forgotten
But I am not foolish
That I would hope to buy your heart with gifts
Your life is young
Your path is long
And you drink my love
One sip at a time
And run away

You have your play and your playmates
Your laughter and your carefree ways
You are like a river that runs swift with a song
Breaking through all barriers

I am the mountain
I stay and remember
And follow you with my love
I am the mountain
I stay and remember
And follow you with my love
