- The golden Flute
- A sea of peace and joy and light
Beyond my reach I know.In me the storm-tossed weeping night
Finds room to rage and flow.
I cry aloud, but all in vain —
I helpless, the earth unkind!What soul of might can share my pain?
Death-dart alone I find.
A raft am I on the sea of Time,
My oars are washed away.How can I hope to reach the Clime
Of God's eternal Day?
But hark!
I hear Thy golden Flute,Its notes bring the Summit down.
Now safe am I, O Absolute!Gone death!
Gone night's stark frown!
So that was my very first attempt — over 40 years ago.And this particular poem that I am going to read out is only three hours old.
You will see the difference.You can call it either my most deplorable degradation and say that I have gone "downhill," or you can say that I have made progress in a different way.
There was a timeWhen the poet in me
Prayerfully desired to roam and roamInside my heart-garden.
The poet in me now sleeplessly cries
To clasp the flower-beautyOf my heart-garden.
And before long, the poet in me
Will meditatively grow intoThe nectar-fragrance-delight
Of my heart-garden.
