THE RUG by PERCY STICKNEY GRANT

First Line: O SIVA! / BEAT MY SOUL LIKE A RUG
Last Line: O SIVA!
Subject(s): HINDUISM; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
O Siva!
Beat my soul like a rug
Spread on the grass,
Struck by tough saplings,
Till it wrinkles and writhes,
And the dust rises,
Blown off by the wind.
So make my soul clean,
Yes, soft for thy feet,
O Siva!
