Chorus of the Cowherds |
|
|
The antiphonal Chorus of the Cowhherds, by his friend, Girish Chandra Ghosh, freely translated by Swami Vivekananda
Men. |
|
|
Thou art the Soul of souls,
Thou yellow garbed,
With thy blue eyes. |
Women. |
|
|
Thou dark One! Thou
Shepherd of Brindaban!
Kneeling at the feet of the Sheperdesses. |
Men: |
|
|
My soul sing the praise of
the glory of the Lord,
Who took the human form. |
Women: |
|
|
Thy beauty for us, the
Gopis. |
Men: |
Thou Lord of Saciifice. Saviour of the weak. |
Women. |
Who lovest Radha, and thy body floats on its own tears. |
(Notes of some wanderings with the Swami Vivekananda by Sister Nivedita)
