Les Amours de Marie: VI
I'm sending you some flowers, that my hand
Picked just now from all this blossoming,
That, if they'd not been gathered this evening,
Tomorrow would be
scattered
on the ground.

THE NIZAM OF HYDERABAD
(Presented at the Ramzan Durbar)
Deign, Prince, my tribute to receive,
This lyric offering to your name,
Who round your jewelled scepter bind
The lilies of a poet's fame;
Beneath whose sway concordant dwell
The peoples whom your laws embrace,
In brotherhood of diverse creeds,
And harmony of diverse race:
The
votaries
of the Prophet's faith,
Of whom you are the crown and chief
And they, who bear on Vedic brows
Their mystic symbols of belief;
And they, who worshipping the sun,
Fled o'er the old Iranian sea;
And they, who bow to Him who trod
The midnight waves of Galilee.

Sarojini Naidu - Golden Threshold |

--When I tell you even * * * has lost its power to please, you
will guess
something
of my hell within, and all around me--I begun
_Elibanks and Elibraes_, but the stanzas fell unenjoyed, and
unfinished from my listless tongue: at last I luckily thought of
reading over an old letter of yours, that lay by me in my book-case,
and I felt something for the first time since I opened my eyes, of
pleasurable existence.

since thou washest me
Clear of that guilt wherein I now must fall,
Large promise with
performance
scant, be sure,
Shall make thee triumph in thy lofty seat.
