Lover's Delight

" The dews are still on
As the sun wakes up in the horizon
In the early morn-misty dawn
From their hives , the bees gone
Unto the fragrant flowers
Flowers of unseen trails
What draws them together
And what prompts this desire?

What says the song
That their eager wings sing?
An answer to the music they hear
That hidden in the soul of the flower?
How the bees seek and find their way
Where the fountain unto ecstasy lay ?
Deep in the bosom , the honey hidden
For the bee to suck , merrily given "



The above verse by a friend. He read the English translation ( prose form) of a Tagore’s Bengali poem and made poetry out of it in a beautiful way…  

The above lines can be spiritual too like many of other Tagor’s work. I don’t know what the great Master had in mind. What do you think friends ?

It is a part from a long poem. It just shows the beauty of love and the poet is wondering what draws lovers to each other?

This is what I understood but if you read it couple of times, you can even feel it has a spiritual meaning like being attracted to the love of God and drinking from that supreme cup of happiness which requires absolute submission of our soul to His feet...
