Entwine me in tasks

আমায় বাঁধবে যদি কাজের ডোরে
aamaay bandhbe jodi kaajer dorey

If you will entwine me in tasks
Why do you then distract me thus

Why does the wind waft in
Bearing secret tidings
From a distant beyond
Pervading my being

The flecks of gold tinging the sky
How they dance into my bloodstream

Now and again
Who is it you send
To sing at my casement
And steal my heart away

- 7th April 1914
