Rabindranath Tagore - Lest I Should Know lyrics

Lest I should know you too easily, you play with me. You blind me with flashes of laughter to hide your tears. I know, I know your art; You never say the word you would. Lest I should prize you not, you elude me in a thousand ways. Lest I should mix you with the crowd, you stand aside. I know, I know your art; You never walk the path you would. Your claim is more than others; that is why you are silent. With a playful carelessness you avoid my gifts. I know, I know your art; You never accept what you would.
