Art thou abroad on this stormy night [German translation]

Art thou abroad on this stormy night

on thy journey of love, my friend?

The sky groans like one in despair.

I have no sleep tonight.

Ever and again I open my door

and look out on the darkness, my friend!

I can see nothing before me.

I wonder where lies thy path!

By what dim shore of the ink-black river,

by what far edge of the frowning forest,

through what mazy depth of gloom

art thou threading thy course

to come to me, my friend?

• Artist:Rabindranath Tagore
