THE DANCE OF SHIVA
He knew not in His fervour
Creation’s sated sigh ;
The groan of the Preserver,
Life’s miserable lie.
I broke that silence, and afraid
I knew not what I prayed
. . . . . .
Let peace awaken for an hour
And manifest as power
. . . . . .
Cease not the dance unceasing,
The glance nor swerve nor cease,
Thy peace by power increasing
In me by power to peace.
Desunt cetera.
[The MS. of this Hymn most mysteriously disappeared
two days after being written. I can remember no more of
it than the above; nor will inspiration return.]
