TARA-BINDU by DHAN GOPAL MUKERJI

First Line: AS THE BREEZE FALLS ASLEEP
Last Line: BEHIND THE EMERALD SCREEN OF THE SEA.
Subject(s): NATURE; NIGHT; REST; SEA; BEDTIME; OCEAN;

As the breeze falls asleep,
The brush of sunset
Draws the rosy cloud-scape
On the canvas of the sky;
The blue hills in repose
Listen to the pearl lullaby of the mist.

A song of dimming light, this,
And dance of shadows with silver feet,
For the joy of one shy star-maid
Seeking hiding from the moon
Behind the emerald screen of the sea.
