to sing the song of Defeat,
for that is the bride whom He woos in secret.

hiding her face from the crowd,
but the jewel glows on her breast in the dark.

and God's night is waiting for her with its lamps lighted and flowers wet with dew.

she has left her home behind her,
from her home has come that wailing in the wind.

the call has sounded,
and the heart of the darkness throbs with awe
because of the coming tryst. — Rabindranath Tagore
