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.
