By: Rabindranath Tagore
Translated by: Bajram Karabolli

I was walking along a path when a woman's voice behind me said:


- Do you know me?

I turned and replied:

- I don't remember who you are.

She told me:

- I am that deep sadness that you suffered a long time ago.

Her eyes shone like the morning, when the dew has not yet fallen on the ground.

I was silent, then I asked:

- Where did you find all that big load of tears?

She smiled without answering me.

I realized that her tears had had time to learn the language of smiles.

He told me:

- You were once convinced that you would keep your sadness forever.

Embarrassed, I replied:

- It's true, but years have passed.

Then, with her hand in mine, I said:

- But you have changed too.

She answered me calmly:

- You must know that what was once sadness is now peace...
