Tagore's Gitanjali,POEM NO. 93

 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.
