Religion
Forsake Me Not!
Translated by Nicol Macnicol (1919) · From Psalms of Maratha Saints (1919)
Religion
If far from home the poor faun roam,
With grief its heart will break.
Thus lonely I with thee not nigh
O do not me forsake!
Thy heart within, all, all my sin
Ah, hide; make no delay.
Eternal thou — look on me now
In love, I, Tuka, pray.
