As consciousness came slowly back	A
He recognised his loving wife	B
Who was it Love through regions black	A
Where hardly seemed a sign of life	B
Carried me bound Methinks I view	C
The dark face yet a noble face	D
He had a robe of scarlet hue	C
And ruby crown far far through space	D
He bore me on and on but now	E
Thou hast been sleeping but the man	F
With glory on his kingly brow	E
Is gone thou seest Satyavan	F
	-
O my belov d thou art free	G
Sleep which had bound thee fast hath left	H
Thine eyelids Try thyself to be	G
For late of every sense bereft	H
Thou seemedst in a rigid trance	I
And if thou canst my love arise	J
Regard the night the dark expanse	I
Spread out before us and the skies	J
Supported by her looked he long	K
Upon the landscape dim outspread	H
And like some old remembered song	K
The past came back a tangled thread	H
	-
I had a pain as if an asp	L
Gnawed in my brain and there I lay	M
Silent for oh I could but gasp	L
Till someone came that bore away	M
My spirit into lands unknown	F
Thou dear who watchedst beside me say	M
Was it a dream from elfland blown	F
Or very truth my doubts to stay	M
O Love look round how strange and dread	H
The shadows of the high trees fall	N
Homeward our path now let us tread	H
To morrow I shall tell thee all	N
	-
Arise Be strong Gird up thy loins	M
Think of our parents dearest friend	H
The solemn darkness haste enjoins	M
Not likely is it soon to end	H
Hark Jackals still at distance howl	O
The day long long will not appear	P
Lo wild fierce eyes through bushes scowl	O
Summon thy courage lest I fear	P
Was that the tiger's sullen growl	O
What means this rush of many feet	H
Can creatures wild so near us prowl	O
Rise up and hasten homewards sweet	H
	-
He rose but could not find the track	A
And then too well Savitri knew	F
His wonted force had not come back	A
She made a fire and from the dew	F
Essayed to shelter him At last	H
He nearly was himself again	F
Then vividly rose all the past	H
And with the past new fear and pain	F
What anguish must my parents feel	Q
Who wait for me the livelong hours	M
Their sore wound let us haste to heal	Q
Before it festers past our powers	M
	-
For broken hearted they may die	H
Oh hasten dear now I am strong	K
No more I suffer let us fly	H
Ah me each minute seems so long	K
They told me once they could not live	R
Without me in their feeble age	S
Their food and water I must give	T
And help them in the last sad stage	S
Of earthly life and that Beyond	H
In which a son can help by rites	M
Oh what a love is theirs how fond	H
Whom now Despair perhaps benights	M
	-
Infirm herself my mother dear	P
Now guides methinks the tottering feet	H
Of my blind father for they hear	U
And hasten eagerly to meet	H
Our fancied steps O faithful wife	B
Let us on wings fly back again	F
Upon their safety hangs my life	B
He tried his feelings to restrain	F
But like some river swelling high	H
They swept their barriers weak and vain	F
Sudden there burst a fearful cry	H
Then followed tears like autumn rain	F
	-
Hush Hark a sweet voice rises clear	P
A voice of earnestness intense	M
If I have worshipped Thee in fear	P
And duly paid with reverence	M
The solemn sacrifices hear	U
Send consolation and thy peace	M
Eternal to our parents dear	P
That their anxieties may cease	M
Oh ever hath I loved Thy truth	V
Therefore on Thee I dare to call	N
Help us this night and them for sooth	V
Without thy help we perish all	N
	-
She took in hers Satyavan's hand	H
She gently wiped his falling tears	M
This weakness Love I understand	H
Courage She smiled away his fears	M
Now we shall go for thou art strong	K
She helped him rise up by her side	H
And led him like a child along	K
He wistfully the basket eyed	H
Laden with fruit and flowers Not now	F
To morrow we shall fetch it hence	M
And so she hung it on a bough	F
I'll bear thy saw for our defence	M
	-
In one fair hand the saw she took	W
The other with a charming grace	M
She twined around him and her look	W
She turn d upwards to his face	M
Thus aiding him she felt anew	F
His bosom beat against her own	F
More firm his step more clear his view	F
More self possessed his words and tone	F
Became as swift the minutes past	H
And now the pathway he discerns	M
And 'neath the trees they hurry fast	H
For Hope's fair light before them burns	M
	-
Under the faint beams of the stars	M
How beautiful appeared the flowers	M
Light scarlet flecked with golden bars	M
Of the pal sas in the bowers	M
That Nature there herself had made	H
Without the aid of man At times	M
Trees on their path cast densest shade	H
And nightingales sang mystic rhymes	M
Their fears and sorrows to assuage	S
Where two paths met the north they chose	M
As leading to the hermitage	X
And soon before them dim it rose	M
	-
Here let us end For all may guess	M
The blind old king received his sight	H
And ruled again with gentleness	M
The country that was his by right	H
And that Savitri's royal sire	Y
Was blest with many sons a race	M
Whom poets praised for martial fire	Y
And every peaceful gift and grace	M
As for Savitri to this day	M
Her name is named when couples wed	H
And to the bride the parents say	M
Be thou like her in heart and head	H
