SRI AUROBINDO

Collected Poems

SHORT POEMS — 1890-1900

Charles Stewart Parnell

1891

O pale and guiding light, now star unsphered,

Deliverer lately hailed, since by our lords

Most feared, most hated, hated because feared,

Who smot'st them with an edge surpassing swords!

Thou too wert then a child of tragic earth,

Since vainly filled thy luminous doom of birth.
