Resurgence

Resurgence - - - - - - - Survives now only one Where living happily Dwellers once were seen All old familiar faces vanish So do all old familiar places, Temples and grand palaces Short-lived are joys like the flash Fleeting is life as the mists Unto dust all towers and walls fall At time's fateful call All will get swept away As dice with helpless mortals play A long adieu! To mother earth To water my life To wind my sire To Robin my friend Oh, my soul wants them again Break chains to them gain By merging in that sweet heaven That all sustains The Sun's sunbeams The Moon's soft beams And stars' gleam And the grassy wood's dreams They will come alive once again In splendour with the touch of her fingers Greater than before only with poetry sheen
