Chittaranjan Das

Songs of the Sea (Sagar Sangit)

XX

Thou hast come back, O Lord! this soul, thy sky,

Looks glad on flowers and fruits and ecstasy:

Ceased has thy song of death, thy call of pain,

Life settles on thy lips and lids again.

Once more I look upon thy joyous dawn

And the links of rapture twixt our hearts are drawn.

My heart leans out to hear thy song. Ah, when

Thy voice calls, all its buds shall open then,

While mid the touch of breezes wrapped in flowers

Cry under lyric heavens the harmonious hours.
