around that the forest Anashuya the young priestess kneeling | B |
within the temple | C |
- | |
Anashuya Send peace on all the lands and flickering | B |
corn | D |
O may tranquillity walk by his elbow | E |
When wandering in the forest if he love | F |
No other Hear and may the indolent flocks | G |
Be plentiful And if he love another | H |
May panthers end him Hear and load our king | B |
With wisdom hour by hour May we two stand | I |
When we are dead beyond the setting suns | J |
A little from the other shades apart | K |
With mingling hair and play upon one lute | L |
- | |
Vijaya entering and throwing a lily at her Hail hail my | M |
Anashuya | N |

Anashuya No be still | O |
I priestess of this temple offer up | P |

Vijaya I will wait here Amrita | I |

Anashuya By mighty Brahma's ever rustling robe | Q |
Who is Amrita Sorrow of all sorrows | R |
Another fills your mind | I |
- | |
Vijaya My mother's name | S |
- | |
Anashuya sings coming out of the temple | C |
A sad sad thought went by me slowly | T |
Sigh O you little stars O sigh and shake your blue apparel | C |
The sad sad thought has gone from me now wholly | T |
Sing O you little stars O sing and raise your rapturous | U |
carol | C |
To mighty Brahma be who made you many as the sands | V |
And laid you on the gates of evening with his quiet hands | V |
Sits down on the steps of the temple | C |
Vijaya I have brought my evening rice | W |
The sun has laid his chin on the grey wood | I |
Weary with all his poppies gathered round him | X |
- | |
Vijaya The hour when Kama full of sleepy laughter | H |
Rises and showers abroad his fragrant arrows | R |
Piercing the twilight with their murmuring barbs | Y |
- | |
Anashuya See how the sacred old flamingoes come | Z |
Painting with shadow all the marble steps | A2 |
Aged and wise they seek their wonted perches | B2 |
Within the temple devious walking made | I |
To wander by their melancholy minds | C2 |
Yon tall one eyes my supper chase him away | D2 |
Far far away I named him after you | N |
He is a famous fisher hour by hour | H |
He ruffles with his bill the minnowed streams | E2 |
Ah there he snaps my rice I told you so | E |
Now cuff him off He's off A kiss for you | N |
Because you saved my rice Have you no thanks | F2 |
- | |
Vijaya sings Sing you of her O first few stars | G2 |
Whom Brahma touching with his finger praises for you hold | I |
The van of wandering quiet ere you be too calm and old | I |
Sing turning in your cars | G2 |
Sing till you raise your hands and sigh and from your car | H2 |
heads peer | I2 |
With all your whirling hair and drop many an azure tear | J2 |
- | |
Anashuya What know the pilots of the stars of tears | K2 |
- | |
Vijaya Their faces are all worn and in their eyes | L2 |
Flashes the fire of sadness for they see | T |
The icicles that famish all the North | M2 |
Where men lie frozen in the glimmering snow | E |
And in the flaming forests cower the lion | A |
And lioness with all their whimpering cubs | N2 |
And ever pacing on the verge of things | O2 |
The phantom Beauty in a mist of tears | K2 |
While we alone have round us woven woods | P2 |
And feel the softness of each other's hand | I |
Amrita while | Q2 |
- | |
Anashuya going away from him | X |
Ah me you love another | H |
Bursting into tears | K2 |
And may some sudden dreadful ill befall her | H |
- | |
Vijaya I loved another now I love no other | H |
Among the mouldering of ancient woods | P2 |
You live and on the village border she | T |
With her old father the blind wood cutter | H |
I saw her standing in her door but now | R2 |
- | |
Anashuya Vijaya swear to love her never more | S2 |
- | |
Vijaya Ay ay | D2 |
- | |
Anashuya Swear by the parents of the gods | T2 |
Dread oath who dwell on sacred Himalay | Q2 |
On the far Golden peak enormous shapes | U2 |
Who still were old when the great sea was young | V2 |
On their vast faces mystery and dreams | E2 |
Their hair along the mountains rolled and filled | I |
From year to year by the unnumbered nests | W2 |
Of aweless birds and round their stirless feet | I |
The joyous flocks of deer and antelope | X2 |
Who never hear the unforgiving hound | I |
Swear | J2 |
- | |
Vijaya By the parents of the gods I swear | J2 |
- | |
Anashuya sings I have forgiven O new star | H2 |
Maybe you have not heard of us you have come forth so newly | Q2 |
You hunter of the fields afar | H2 |
Ah you will know my loved one by his hunter's arrows | R |
truly | Q2 |
Shoot on him shafts of quietness that he may ever keep | Y2 |
A lonely laughter and may kiss his hands to me in sleep | Y2 |
- | |
Farewell Vijaya Nay no word no word | I |
I priestess of this temple offer up | P |
Prayers for the land | I |
Vijaya goes | R |
O Brahma guard in sleep | Y2 |
The merry lambs and the complacent kine | R2 |
The flies below the leaves and the young mice | W |
In the tree roots and all the sacred flocks | G |
Of red flamingoes and my love Vijaya | N |
And may no restless fay with fidget finger | H |
Trouble his sleeping give him dreams of me | Q2 |
