I came out alone on my way to my tryst lyrics

I came out alone on my way to my tryst.

But who is this that follows me in the silent dark?

I move aside to avoid his presence

but I escape him not.

He makes the dust rise from the earth

with his swagger;

he adds his loud voice to every word that I utter.

He is my own little self,

my lord, he knows no shame;

but I am ashamed

to come to thy door in his company.

• Artist:Rabindranath Tagore
