Gitanjali 65
What divine drink wouldst thou have, my God, from this overflowing cupof my life?
My poet, is it thy delight to see thy creation through my eyes and tostand at the portals of my ears silently to listen to thine own eternalharmony?
Thy world is weaving words in my mind and thy joy is adding music tothem. Thou givest thyself to me in love and then feelest thine ownentire sweetness in me.

About this section
Gitanjali 65 is prose, printed in 3 paragraphs. It is part of the edition and is kept for reading, but nothing here is measured: the line breaks are the printer's, so no metre, rhyme scheme or scansion is stated.
The reader shows the same poem with its rhymes coloured and a stress row above each line, the notes beside their stanzas, and any word's definition on a tap; the analysis page takes the whole book apart. How every part of this site was made.
