THE GREEN HILL A PRIEST WITH HIS HOOD OF WHITE MIST by DHAN GOPAL MUKERJI

Last Line: She too a devotee, in the honeyed sanctuary of Cythera
Subject(s): WORSHIP;

The green hill, a priest with his hood of white mist;
The sky a conch-shell of turquoise
Through whose hollow the breeze calls the pilgrims
To this noonday worship.
Weary the soul of all things, this hour,
Save the bee, who, free from all thought of worship,
Visits her flower-lovers
She too a devotee, in the honeyed sanctuary of Cythera.
