The Best Poem Of Bandana Dhar Dasgupta

A Divine Shining

From the deep blue sky
A divine ray is falling on earth-
That sparkles on the child's face
And in the heart of the man;
But as the life has ups and downs
The human life is woven
With dark and bright shade-
But that light can't fade
In life and death.
