A moment as flash of lightning drags
Down a deeper gloom on my sight，
And my heart gropes for the path to where
The music of the night calls me.
Light， oh， where is the light？
Kindle it with the burning fire of desire！
It thunders and the wind rushes screaming through the void.
The night is black as a black stone.
Let not the hours pass by in the dark.
Kindle the lamp of love with thy life.
作品赏析
诗人会因无法点燃“爱之灯”而痛不欲生。为了寻找爱，他不畏道路艰险、漫漫长夜，来到了黑暗的深渊。尽管狂风呼啸，雷声轰鸣，诗人决心用“生命之火”来点燃“爱之灯”以照亮漫漫黑夜。这种用“生命之火”来点燃“爱之灯”的决心，真正体现了泰戈尔坚强的意志和博爱的胸怀。
