Gitanjali 101

Ever in my life have I sought thee 
with my songs. It was they who led 
me from door to door, and with them 
have I felt about me, searching and
touching my world.
   It was my songs that taught me all
the lessons I ever learnt; they showed
me secret paths, they brought before 
my sight many a star on the horizon of
my heart.
  They guided me all the day long to 
the mysteries of the country of pleasure 
and pain, and, at last, to what palace
gate have they brought me in the 
evening at the end of my journey?
