On her lap, upon the infant child’s awakening,
The extended arms do [...]

Looking for a nest, a home,
Like a wandering swallow;

Full of grace and pure like the Morn that peeps
When in the sky the clouds are tinted blue,
Of th’ Indian land, a goddess sleeps.
The light foam of the son’rous sea
Doth kiss her feet with loving desire;
The cultured West adores her [...]
