Keep his trust, O You the Chosen—
Far shall be his way.
Clasp him to your heart and bless him
With all you may.
Recall.
“Come back, my darling; the world is asleep; and no one would know, if you came for a moment while stars are gazing at stars.”—Rabindranath Tagore.
Dark was the hour you slipped away,
Veiled in the shadowed light.
Touched with a sleep the others lay
Then as they do to-night.
