Canto 19Evening

Book 3. Part Three - Baroda and Bengal Circa 1900 – 1909

A golden evening, when the thoughtful sun
Rejects its usual pomp in going, trees
That bend down to their green companion
And fruitful mother, vaguely whispering, — these
5And a wide silent sea. Such hour is nearest God, —
Rich like old age when the long ways have all been trod.
