New Melodies - Rabindranath Tagore

New Melodies

I thought that my voyage had come to its end 
at the last limit of my power – 
that the path before me was closed, 
that provisions were exhausted 
and the time come to take shelter 
in a silent obscurity.
 
 
But I find that thy will knows no end in me.  
And when old words die out on the tongue, 
new melodies break forth from the heart; 
and where the old tracks are lost, 
new country is revealed with its wonders.

            - Rabindranath Tagore
