Abanindranath Tagore

Nasim Bagh
Abanindranath Tagore
ní raibh uaim
ach mé féin a ísliú romhat
is a bheith im' bhláth
        ní ina dhath, a chuid
        ná ina chruth ná fiú ina chumhracht
i wished for nothing
but to humble myself before You
and become a flower
        no! not its colour, beloved
        nor its shape nor even its scent
