Poems By Arjava

DESCEND, O whitely radiant,

Unclouded shine :

Be uttered thoughts Thy temple-garth,

Hearts' hush Thy shrine.

Wind with Thy unsullied light

The topmost hills,

Nor yet forbear till luminous peace

Each valley fills.

A fragrance and a dawn-fresh splendour

On newest bough

From ancient tree of world's aspiring

Blossoms, is Thou.

A troubled and uncertain darkness

Enwraps the sea,

Till the silver silence of the moon-song

Pronounces Thee.
