SANTINIKETAN
SANTINIKETAN
SPRING IN SANTINIKETAN !
How can I offer my thanks !
The trees in Santiniketan welcoming me with their early spring blossoms
Their fragrance laced with love and affection
A song of Rabindra Sangeet from a distance
Reaching my ears
Enthralling my psyche and soul
Oh ! What a sight to behold
The landscape that witnessed the origin of Gitanjali, Janaganana and Amar sonar Bangla
Disciples reciting with reverence
One day I may visit
Sitting under the huge Banayan tree
Reciting half a dozen of my poems
Seeking the blessings of the souls of the blooming trees
Sure I kiss those paths where the holy feet of Debendra nath and Gurudeb once tread
