"Saints Great of Heart"
Translated by Nicol Macnicol (1919) · From Psalms of Maratha Saints (1919)
Religion
Saints great of heart and kind are ye,
Fathers and mothers unto me.
So great the blessings you bestow,
How can I praise you, I so low?
For you have saved us, you have showed
To us, dull men, the proper road.
My debt, I, Sena barber, say,
Ah, never, never can I pay.
