THE SUN SINKS INTO AN OCEAN OF MIST, by DHAN GOPAL MUKERJI Poet's Biography
Last Line: The drowsy west seeks to echo the silence of the east
Subject(s): Night
Last Line: The drowsy west seeks to echo the silence of the east
Subject(s): Night
The sun sinks into an ocean of mist;
The trees spread their green wings for flight;
A silence spreads over hill and valley;
A pale moon leads the caravan of night.
The "star-traders" come from the desert of East
With their loads of gold and silver;
As the breeze, that unseen camel walks along,
Setting the golden western mists aquiver.
The last flicker of light fades away fast;
Comes darkness, telling dewy beads;
The trees, shadow-like, melt into the sky;
The drowsy West seeks to echo the silence of the East
