ECHOES FROM EAST
AND WEST


TO WHICH ARE ADDED

STRAY NOTES OF MINE OWN

BY

ROBY DATTA

Sunset smites on sunrise: east and west are one,
Face to face in heaven before the sovereign sun.
(Swinburne)

Life is the rose's hope while yet unblown;
The reading of an ever-changing tale;
The light uplifting of a maiden's veil;
A pigeon tumbling in clear summer air;
A laughing schoolboy, without grief or care,
Riding the springy branches of an elm.

(Keats).
