A poem by Dhan Gopal Mukerji

At Sundown

________________________________________________
Title:     At Sundown
Author: Dhan Gopal Mukerji [More Titles by Mukerji]

Two shadows fell, tremulous and frail,
From the upland over the lake-surface pale,
While the shivering reeds shook at sunset,
As the swans sailed into a sea of jet.

The rippling waters, and the breeze,
And the shadows that fall from the trees,
Mingled and melted with the twain,
A song of whitewashed away by its black refrain.

Only words remained, palpitating and few,
Falling through the gloom and night's dew
Like jewelled fancies rising out of a dream
That live for a moment and die ere they gleam.





[The end]
Dhan Gopal Mukerji's poem: At Sundown
