ON A STARRY NIGHT by DHAN GOPAL MUKERJI

First Line: THE MILKY WAY, / THAT SILVER SHADOW
Last Line: BEYOND THE UNIVERSE'S WALL.
Subject(s): LOVE;

The Milky Way,
That silver shadow,
Binds the heaven and earth
Like the chain of love.

The star-hosts, smiling guests of night,
Witness this meeting of love;
And my soul, in a silver stream
Like "the Way,"
Flows to meet them all
Across the ocean of night's silence,
Beyond the Universe's wall.
