let only that little be left of me whereby I may never hide thee

Let only that little be left of me whereby I may name thee my all.
     Let only that little be left of my will whereby I may feel thee on
every side, and come to thee in everything, and offer to thee my love
every moment.
     Let only that little be left of me whereby I may never hide thee.
     Let only that little of my fetters be left whereby I am bound with
thy will, and thy purpose is carried out in my life--and that is the
fetter of thy love.

[Rabindranath Tagore {1861-1941} XXXIV from 'Gitanjali' in Collected Poems and Prose]
