Maha-Lakshmi


Borne on the golden-plumed eagle of Vishnu, or seated within the red lotus.


UNDER the evening storm-lower

Far in the western sky

Gold are the wings of the eagle

Who bringeth Beauty nigh.


Heard we the sedges answer

The wind in a whispered cry—

Or a silk robe's fading rustle

And Her feet passing by ?


Framed in the day-dawn glimmer

Her fields of lotus lie,—

In the heart one worship-petal

Wins God-horizonry.

July 14, 1933.
