Gitanjali 10: Here is thy footstool and there rest thy feet

Here is thy footstool and there rest thy feet where live the poorest,

and lowliest, and lost.

When I try to bow to thee, my obeisance cannot reach down to the depth

where thy feet rest among the poorest, and lowliest, and lost.

Pride can never approach to where thou walkest in the clothes of the

humble among the poorest, and lowliest, and lost.

My heart can never find its way to where thou keepest company with the

companionless among the poorest, the lowliest, and the lost.
