“To quench my longing I bent me low
By the streams of the spirits of Peace that flow
In that magical wood in the land of sleep.”

“Cover mine eyes, O my Love!
Mine eyes that are weary of bliss
As of light that is poignant and strong
O silence my lips with a kiss,
My lips that are weary of song!
Shelter my soul, O my love!
My soul is bent low with the pain
And the burden of love, like the grace
Of a flower that is smitten with rain:
O shelter my soul from thy face!”
― Sarojini Naidu, The Golden Threshold
