From Tagore's Birds in section 167.
The world kissed me with its pain, but asked me to sing in return.
The world kisses my soul with its pain and demands its return.
In the song.
Extended data:
The world kissed me in pain and asked me to sing. The man who said this is a great singer whose voice was kissed by God. He sings with his own soul. And those of us who dig in singing are willing to live in the same mood as our own songs?
