Where does this quote by Tagore come from?
on: October 29, 2017, 06:01:54 AM
I keep seeing it in the Internet but they don't reference the source.
It goes:
SILENCE MY SOUL
Silence my soul, these trees are prayers.
I asked the tree, “Tell me about God”;
then it blossomed.
Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a Bengali polymath—writer, poet, painter, and composer.

Does anyone know where this material came from?
Thanks!

No luck, but I'd guess from here, if he wrote it down to begin with.
