Psalms of the Brethren XXXII: Suppiya
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
Religion
O would that I who hourly waste, might change
For that which ne’er decays — who ever burn,
Might change for that cool bliss— e’en for the Peace
That passeth all, Safety beyond compare!
