Religion
The Unveiling of Love
Translated by Nicol Macnicol (1919) · From Psalms of Maratha Saints (1919)
Religion
Enlighten thou mine eyes
Making me lowly wise;
Thy love to me unveil.
Then in the world I'll be
As, from all soilure free,
The lotus pure and pale.
Whether men praise or jeer,
Hearing I shall not hear;
Like the rapt yogi I.
To me the world shall seem
Like visions of a dream
That, with our waking, fly.
Till we that state attain
All, all our toil is vain,
I, Tuka, testify.
