(Translated from Bengali by Nolini Kanta Gupta)
Goddess that hast dawned upon the horizon!
Hast thou crossed the infinitude of Darkness
And come into the timeless moment?
Thou hast revealed thyself in thy complete regalia–
The hem of thy garment sweeps my heart.
Countless are the seeds of rhythms and songs thou hast sown
Within the bosom of the Earth, throbbing for expression.
Thou hast descended like a lightning flash with thy swift motion of delight
To gather in thy gracious hands the sheaf of songs offered to thee.
Goddess of Dream, hast thou shed upon the Night
The hue of thy perfect vision of creative might?
Celestial moments reddened with thy kisses
Weave an unseen bond between Earth and Paradise–
On their wings often and anon falls in showers
The glorious dust of thy feet, my Goddess, O Word Divine!
