Chapter Two; Little Things-2.2
Chapter Two; Little Things-2.2
Little drops of water,
ছোট বালুকার কণা,
Little grains of sand,
বিন্দু বিন্দু জল,
Make the mighty ocean
গড়ে তোলে মহাদেশ,
And the pleasant land
সাগর অতল।
Thus the little minutes,
মূহুর্ত নিমেষকাল
Humble though they be,
তুচ্ছ পরিমাণ,
Make the mighty ages
রচে যুগযুগান্তর-
Of eternity.
অনন্ত মহান।
Little deeds of kindness,
প্রতি করুণার দান,
Little words of love,
স্নেহপূর্ন বাণী,
Make our earth and Eden,
এ ধরায় স্বর্গশোভা
Like the heaven above.
নিত্য দেয় আনি।
