THE MOON AT THE TREETOP by DHAN GOPAL MUKERJI

Last Line: Into my mouth, thy lips on mine thy lips so rare!
Subject(s): LOVE;

The moon at the treetop;
The green leaves a-tremble;
The golden glow's last throb
With the call of the cymbal.
The Goddess of this hour,
Peering silently through her star-woven veil
From her throne in night's aerial bower,
While the chakoras whistling, moonward sail.
What soft voices sing,
Whispering strange messages of love!
What are those moon-eyes seeking?
Is there no love above?
Love, let thine eyes speak to mine
More silently than one star to another;
Pour thy soft smile like wine
Into my mouth, thy lips on mine thy lips so rare!
