The descent of the sun: A cycle of birth

by Unknown

THE DESCENT OF THE SUN.

[Sanskrit script]

(The illusion of a waking dream.)

Like a Digit of the Moon
In the Shadow of the Earth
Spirit undergoeth Swoon
In the Vestibule of Birth;
Dreameth transitory trouble,
Weareth Hues of Heaven, hurled
Hither, thither, as a Bubble
On the Ocean of the World.
