Gitanjali 15: I am here to sing thee songs. In this hall of
I am here to sing thee songs. In this hall of thine I have a corner
seat.
In thy world I have no work to do; my useless life can only break out

midnight, command me, my master, to stand before thee to sing.
When in the morning air the golden harp is tuned, honour me, commanding
my presence.
