THE RAHAT, by JOHN JEROME ROONEY First Line: Upon nirwana's brink the rahat stood Last Line: And earthward he was gone! | |||
UPON Nirwana's brink the rahat stood; Beneath him rolled the Ocean of the All: Responsive flowed the current of his blood To meet the tidal call -- Save one red drop within his mortal veins Wherein the image of Zuleika shone; He gazed a moment on Nirwana's gains -- And Earthward he was gone! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BEAM OF LIGHT by JOHN JEROME ROONEY JOINED THE BLUES by JOHN JEROME ROONEY MCILRATH OF MALATE by JOHN JEROME ROONEY THE HOMING by JOHN JEROME ROONEY WHERE HELEN COMES by JOHN JEROME ROONEY SANCTUARY by LOUISE IMOGEN GUINEY HAILSTORM IN MAY by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS KIT CARSON'S RIDE by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER MONT BLANC; LINES WRITTEN IN THE VALE OF CHAMOUNI by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY |
