Poem
Pluck This Little Flower
by Rabindranath Tagore
In
this poem, Tagore conveys his distress and longing for inner transformation.
Pluck this little flower
Pluck
this little flower and take it, delay not!
I
fear lest it droop
and
drop into the dust.
It
may not find a place in thy garland,
but
honour it
with
a touch of pain from thy hand and pluck it.
I
fear lest the day end
before
I am aware,
and
the time of offering go by.
Though
its colour be not deep
and
its smell be faint,
use
this flower in thy service
and
pluck it while there is time.
