Fakeer of Jungheera 1.9

THE CHIEF BRAHMIN 

Surya! in thy course of light 
Never saw'st thou woman bright, 
Like to her who soon shall be 
Robed with immortality; 
Hear thy servant's prayer from high, 
Regent of the sapphire sky! 
By the crown upon thy brow, 
By thy face so brilliant now, 
By thy splendour, by thy power, 
By the glory of this hour, 
By the service we have done 
Now to thee, Immortal Sun! 
Hearken to thy children's prayer, 
Make this woman all thy care!
