ECSTASY

by: Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949)

      OVER 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!

"Ecstasy" is reprinted from The Golden Threshold. Sarojini Naidu. New York: John Lane Company, 1916.
