Living
Epigram LXXXII
Translated by Paul Elmer More (1898) · From A Century of Indian Epigrams (1898)
Living
No longer in this haunted jungle roam
With way-worn stumbling feet;
Seek now the safer path that leadeth home,
Turn to thy last retreat.
Rest in the World's still heart; thy little cares
Like wind-rocked billows roll,
And all thy pleasure as the light wind fares; —
Now give thee peace, my soul!
