SRI AUROBINDO


In the delicate purples and mauves of the evening sky
A sunset sadness lingers in the glow
And whispers to the heart: the Day must die,
Its light upon some alien shore to flow.
So too when Thy Light, O Lord, withdraws from sight,
When Thy Face is veiled by the clamour of the world
And we bow our heads in sorrow-bodies curled
 As once long ago in the ancient womb of Night.
Yet with the night the Moon Goddess prevails,
Reflecting Thy Light-too bright for human eyes-
Thy Supramental Sun that never fails
Draws nearer to earth from out Thy radiant skies.
In the depths of the Silence, in the heart of the Eternal's Peace
Thy Golden Splendour lives with the soul's release.
