ECSTASY

Cover mine eyes, O my Love!Mine eyes that are weary of blissAs of light that is poignant and strong.Oh, 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 painAnd the burden of love, like the graceOf a flower that is smitten with rain;Oh, shelter my soul from thy face!Sarojini Naidu

Cover mine eyes, O my Love!Mine eyes that are weary of blissAs of light that is poignant and strong.Oh, silence my lips with a kiss,My lips that are weary of song!

Cover mine eyes, O my Love!

Mine eyes that are weary of bliss

As of light that is poignant and strong.

Oh, 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 painAnd the burden of love, like the graceOf a flower that is smitten with rain;Oh, shelter my soul from thy face!

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;

Oh, shelter my soul from thy face!

Sarojini Naidu
