Envoi To 'The Light Of Asia Poem by Edwin Arnold

Ah, Blessed Lord! Oh, High Deliverer!
Forgive this feeble script which doth Thee wrong
Measuring with little wit Thy lofty Love.
Ah, Lover! Brother! Guide! Lamp of the Law!
I take my refuge in Thy name and Thee!
I take my refuge in Thy Law of God!
I take my refuge in Thy Order! _Om!_
The Dew is on the lotus--rise, great Sun!
And lift my leaf and mix me with the wave.
_Om mani padme hum_, the Sunrise comes!
The Dewdrop slips into the Shining Sea!
