別れの歌

エリザベス・キューブラー・ロスの『死ぬ瞬間　死とその過程について』では章ごとにタゴールの詩が引用されている。その一つを紹介しよう。

I have got my leave. Bid me farewell, my brothers! I bow to you all and take my departure.
Here I give back the keys of my door -- and I give up all claims to my house. I only ask for last kind words from you.
We were neighbours for long, but I received more than I could give. Now the day has dawned and the lamp that lit my dark corner is out. A summons has come and I am ready for my journey.
Gitanjali Section 93 by Rabindranath Tagore
