the poorest, the lowliest, and the lost.

Here is thy footstool and there rest thy feet

 where live the poorest, and lowliest, and lost.

When I try to bow to thee, 

my obeisance cannot reacb down to the depth

 where thy feet rest among the poorest, and lowliest, and lost.

Pride can never approach to where thou walkest 

in the clothes of the humble among 

the poorest, and lowliest, and lost.

My heart can never find its way to where thou keepest

 company with the companionless among

 the poorest, the lowliest, and the lost.

Rabindranath
