"Unending Love" by Rabindranath Tagore

The favorite poem of Audrey Hepburn, one of my favorite actresses.

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times

In life after life, in age after age, forever

My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs

That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,

In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain,

It's ancient tale of being apart or together

As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,

Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time

You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount

At the hear of time, love of one for another

We have played along side millions of lovers,

Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting, the distressful tears of farewell,

Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

Here is a tribute to Hepburn by Gregory Peck, her co-star in many of her movies (most famously 'Roman Holiday'):
