Divine Fire
Now falls the golden orb of light
Burning in a burnished sky
Slowly yielding to the night
The fire that our souls live by.
O Sun of our illumining
Linger not long from earthly sight
For love in us aspiring
Would free the spirit of delight
To dance upon the altar-stone
In Agni’s purifying blaze
Flaming down from the Alone
All human imperfections raze,
Eternity find in every cell
And in thy solar splendour dwell.
