These nine madrigals are settings of poetry by the Bengali writer<br />
Rabindranath <strong>Tagore</strong>.<br />
These pieces may be performed in any order, and any one or more of them<br />
may be used without the rest of the group. The performing group should<br />
be balanced and very small. A performance by five good, well-matched solo<br />
singers is a considered <strong>op</strong>tion. The part marked Quinto can be taken by a<br />
high tenor or low alto, for solo performance, and any combination of these<br />
for choral performance.<br />

Texts<br />
The Lady of the Sea<br />
You bathed in the sea and sat on the pebbled shore with wet untied hair. Your loose yellow dress rested on the damp soil<br />
in curved lines around you. On your uncovered breasts and unadorned body the dawn wrote its fine message in lines of<br />
gold. On my brow there shone a dragon crown. In my right hand I held a bow. I came before you in royal robes and said,<br />
“A stranger I have come to your shore.” Startled, you stood up from your seat of stone and asked, “Why have you come?”<br />
I said, “Do not be afraid, I only want to gather from your garden flowers from my God.” You smiled your consent and<br />
walked by my side. Together we picked the junthee and the jatee and the champak. Together we arranged them in my<br />
prayer bowl. Together we sat in worship of the Lord of dance.<br />
The mist disappeared and in the sky the light shone like the smile of Parvati as she gazed upon Shiva’s face. When the<br />
evening star rose over the mountain peak, you were sitting alone in your room. Your blue skirt was tied round your<br />
waist. Garlands of malati were twined upon your head. Tingling bracelets clung to your wrists. As I walked on my way<br />
I played my flute and said, “I came to your door. Look, here is a guest for you.” Startled, you quickly lit your lamp and<br />
looked at me and asked, “Why have you come?” I replied, “Do not be afraid, I only want to deck your slender limbs with<br />
my jewels.” You looked at me with a smiling face as I hung over your breasts a garland like the crescent moon. I took off<br />
my dragon crown and made it a circlet for your dusky hair. Your maidens came, and lit the lamps, the jewels on your<br />
body sparkled and shone. The night of the spring became sweet and tender.<br />
Your dance and my drum mingled in unison. The full moon smiled on the cloudless sky like Shiva and Shivani. Light<br />
and shade trembled on the waters of the sea.<br />
The Unanswered Question, from Last Writings<br />
Faced with the emergence of new being, the day’s first sun asked the question, “Who art thou?” There was no reply.<br />
Endless years passed on the shores of the western sea in the speechless evening. The day’s last sun asked the final question,<br />
“Who art thou?” There was no reply.<br />
When She Pass’d, from The Gardener<br />
When she passed by me with quick steps, the end of her skirt touched me.<br />
From the unknown island of a heart came a sudden warm breath of spring.<br />
A flutter of a flitting touch brushed me and vanished in a moment, like a torn flower petal blown in the breeze.<br />
It fell upon my heart like a sigh of her body and whisper of her heart.<br />
The Guest, from Gitanjali<br />
On the day when death will knock at thy door what wilt thou offer to him? Oh, I will set before my guest the full vessel<br />
of my life—I will never let him go with empty hands. All the sweet vintage of all my autumn days and summer nights,<br />
all the earnings and gleanings of my busy life will I place before him at the close of my days when death will knock at<br />
my door.
Last Night in the Garden, from Lover’s Gift<br />
Last night in the garden I offered you my youth’s foaming wine. You lifted the cup to your lips, you shut your eyes and<br />
smiled while I raised your veil, unbound your tresses, drawing down upon my breast your face sweet with its silence,<br />
last night when the moon’s dream overflowed the world of slumber.<br />
To-day in the dew-cooled calm of the dawn you are walking to God’s temple, bathed and robed white, with a basketful<br />
of flowers in your hand. I stand aside in the shade under the tree, with my head bent, in the calm of the dawn by the<br />
lonely road to the temple.<br />
Her Night’s Silence, from Fruit-Gathering<br />
I know that at the dim end of some day the sun will bid me its farewell.<br />
Shepherds will play their pipes beneath the banyan trees, and cattle graze on the sl<strong>op</strong>e by the river, while my days will<br />
pass into the dark.<br />
This is my prayer, that I may know before I leave why the earth called me to her arms.<br />
Why her night’s silence spoke to me of stars, and her daylight kissed my thoughts into flower.<br />
Before I go may I linger over my last refrain, completing its music, may the lamp be lit to see your face and the wreath<br />
woven to crown you.<br />
I Hold Her Hands, from The Gardener<br />
I hold her hands and press her to my breast.<br />
I try to fill my arms with her loveliness, to plunder her sweet smile with kisses, to drink her dark glances with my eyes.<br />
Ah, but, where is it? Who can strain the blue from the sky?<br />
I try to grasp the beauty, it eludes me, leaving only the body in my hands.<br />
Baffled and weary I come back.<br />
How can the body touch the flower which only the spirit may touch?<br />
The Great Unknown, from Last Writings<br />
There lies the Ocean of Peace.<br />
O Helmsman, sail out to the <strong>op</strong>en sea.<br />
You will be my eternal companion,<br />
Take, O take me in your arms.<br />
The pole star will shine, lighting the path to eternity.<br />
O Lord of deliverance, your forgiveness, your mercy shall be my everlasting sustenance.<br />
On my journey to the shores of eternity.<br />
May the bonds of earth dissolve, the mighty universe take me to her arms, and may I come to know fearlessly the Great<br />
Unknown.<br />
Peace, My Heart, from The Gardener<br />
Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.<br />
Let it not be a death but completeness.<br />
Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.<br />
Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.<br />
Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.<br />
Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.<br />
I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way.
