THE SHANTINIKETAN SCHOOL SONG

By Rabindranath Tagore

Translated from the original Bengali by the Author.


She is our own, the darling of our hearts, the
Shantiniketan.
Our dreams are rocked in her arms.
Her face is a fresh wonder of love every time we
see her,
For she is our own, the darling of our heart.

In the shadows of her trees we meet,
In the freedom of her open sky.
Her mornings come and her evenings
Bringing down heaven’s kisses,
Making us feel anew that she is our own, the
darling of our heart.
