The Lord arrived

(2845)  Maner gabhiire cupisare

Imperceptibly in depths of mind,
You had arrived, You had arrived.
I had searched always outside;
Lurking, watching, You had smiled.

In Svati's room had been the star on sky;
Into slumber's bosom that did dive.
Effusive earth, thrilled, became rapt;
You made it dance to Your music's time.

Full of green leaf a tree was made by branches dry;
The buds at tip of stalk, devoid of nectar, did arise.
On eastern purple mountain, a seven-hued lamp set alight,
The news of Your advent was publicized.
