Religion
Love's Captive
Translated by Nicol Macnicol (1919) · From Psalms of Maratha Saints (1919)
Religion
Bound with cords of love I go,
By Hari captive led,
Mind and speech and body, lo,
To him surrendered.
He shall rule my life for he
Is all compassionate.
His is sole authority,
And we his will await.
