On Veda
THEME/S
EVER in the heart's core rings a faint strain,
The ringing of His hidden flute:
Its dumb utterance evokes a sweet pain,
The ardent desire of a burning love.
In the moonlight haze, in the love-game, steps around me
Brush past to avoid eyes meeting:
Half-seen the body, foot-fall muffled,
The soul is ever athirst.
In the dark a flickering smile, glimmering limbs,
Some one unseen spinning around:
Love binds my soul as if trapped in a prison,
I am in search of the body, the golden mine of love.
Lip to lip, hand in hand anon,
A vain moment's thrill:
Failure increases the greed, hopelessness sweetens the regret,
Sorrowful am I in my happiness.
O! when woulds't thou come into my arms with thy smile
divine
Pouring out all the treasure of thy heart?
A mere touch is a world of delight, Beauty universal
incarnate ―
Revealed in one body!
