The Singer

The singer alone does not make a song, there has to be someone who hears
One man opens his mouth to sing, the other sings in his mind
Only when waves fall on the shore do they make a harmonious sound
Only when breezes shake the woods do we hear a rustling in the leaves

Only from a marriage of two forces does music arise in the world
Where there is no love, where listeners are dumb, there never can be song.


Tagore
