Religion
The Râhat
From An American Anthology, 1787–1900, ed. Edmund Clarence Stedman (1900)
Religion
Upon Nirwâna's brink the râhat stood;
Beneath him rolled the Ocean of the All:
Responsive flowed the current of his blood
To meet the tidal call—
Save one red drop within his mortal veins
Wherein the image of Zuleika shone;
He gazed a moment on Nirwâna's gains—
And Earthward he was gone!
