Religion
Naught But Thy Love
Translated by F. Kingsbury and G. P. Phillips (1921) · From Hymns of the Tamil Saivite Saints (1921)
Religion
I ask not kin, nor name, nor place,
Nor learnèd men's society.
Men's lore for me no value has;
Kuttālam's lord, I come to Thee.
Wilt thou one boon on me bestow,
A heart to melt in longing sweet,
As yearns o’er new-horn calf the cow,
In yearning for Thy sacred feet?
