II. From Bengali

Chittaranjan Das

Songs of the Sea (Sagar Sangit)

VI

Dawn has become to me a golden fold

Of shining dreams, hearing thy potent cry.

A marvel chant on every wave is rolled,

And sky and wind repeat one melody.

What hast thou done? My mind has grown a lyre

Whose many hundred strings thy tones inspire;

Thy touch, thy hand have made it eternally

A refrain of thy pride and majesty.
