A TEMPLE bell!—
And lo, to me,
Who fare far out at sea,
It brings the gloom
Of the temple room—
And the holy image
Of Buddha seated
Upon his lotus!

And so I pray:
‘O Calm One! in
The new lives that I win.
Let me as the sound
Of a bell be found
To waken worship
In souls that wander
Toward Nirvana!’
