Ella Foley

9 December, 21:14

If you would be busy and fill your pitcher, come,

O come to my lake.

The water will cling round your feet and babble

its secret.

The shadow of the coming rain is on the sands,

and the clouds hang low upon the blue lines

of the trees like the heavy hair above your

eyebrows.

I know well the rhythm of your steps, they are

beating in my heart.

Come, O come to my lake, if you must fill your

pitcher.

-"12,"

Rabindranath Tagore
