Return to His Motherland¹¹

(At Apollo Bunder — Bombay — February 1893)

```

The days have run into weeks, and weeks

Into months: for twice seven years

Abroad he remained, a far-off star.

Mother India with tears

Of joy and love garlands her son,

Wishing him life's true bliss.

With the first step on Indian soil

Infinitude's abyss

Captures his mind: earth's lures are gone.

His inner Spirit's Light

Shall guide his tranquil feet; he views

His Motherland's first might.

```
