Religion
Drowning Men
Translated by Nicol Macnicol (1919) · From Psalms of Maratha Saints (1919)
Religion
For men's saving I make known
These devices — this alone
My desire.
Can my heart unmoved be
When before my eyes I see
Drowning men?
I shall see them with my eyes
When their plight they realise
At the last.
