The Broken Wing/Gokhale

​II. Gokhale[1]

Heroic Heart! lost hope of all our days!Need’st thou the homage of our love or praise?Lo! let the mournful millions round thy pyreKindle their souls with consecrated fireCaught from the brave torch fallen from thy hand,To succour and to serve our suffering landAnd in a daily worship taught by theeUpbuild the temple of her Unity.

February 19, 1915

  1. ↑ Gopal Krishna Gokhale, the great saint and soldier of our national righteousness. His life was a sacrament, and his death was a sacrifice in the cause of Indian unity.
