Poems By Arjava

A SILVER shimmer and silence

Far out upon the sea :

Silenceward steps of yearning

Inly to Thee,

Mother of tranquil shine.

Soft pearl glimmer in hazing,

Yet moon-revealing, sky :

A hush and a dim heard footfall—

And Grace is nigh,

Mother of inner hood shrine.

Power and immaculate Glory,

Whom outward eyes may greet—

In this hour might the inward quicken,

Cloudlessly meet

Mother and Beauty Divine.
