Rare handwritten lyrics, in Bengali on an off-white 7.5 x 9.5 sheet, signed at the conclusion by Tagore. Song translated in full: “Whose footsteps are traced on the crimson dust of my broken path/The buds dislodged from his garland and yonder they trail/He came silently making his departure so eloquent/Who else was it but he who could make me cry so/Young were the sunrays then, flowers covered the track/That day spring appeared on earth in all its many-colored garb/But no news reached me as I sat in the middle of the room/Today, I'll go out on a journey to follow his trail/Bearing my tattered life.” In very good condition, with uniform toning, scattered spotting and foxing, trimmed edges, and clipped corners. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
