FAREWELL, farewell, O brave and tender Sage. O mystic jester, golden-hearted Child! Selfless, serene, untroubled, unbeguiled By trivial snares of grief and greed or rage; O splendid dreamer in a dreamless age Whose deep alchemic vision reconciled Time's changing message with the undefiled Calm wisdom of thy Vedic heritage! Farewell, great spirit, without fear or flaw, Thy life was love and liberty thy law, And Truth thy pure imperishable goal ... All hail to thee in thy transcendant flight From hope to hope, from height to heav'nlier height, Lost in the rapture of the Cosmic Soul. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE END OF LIFE by PHILIP JAMES BAILEY SEVEN TWILIGHTS: 6 by CONRAD AIKEN THE BOOK OF THE DEAD MAN (#19): 2.
