Poetry
Let There Be Light
A F M Yeahyea Choudhury
Let the candle glow soft
In your benign hand ---
While I dream of the dews
Dropping from the night's eyes
Into the heart of dawn. Let the gentle stream flow
From the blossom of the meadow ---
Into the virgin green field,
With breeze so cute and mild
Merrymaking in wind and mind. Let the rainbow come out
In the sky from the spressed cloud.
Let the cloud be melting
With the shining silver lining, Let rays of the sun enlighten the moon,
Let hope, aspiration and imagination
Transcend with heights of the Himalayan. Let there be will and might,
Let there be light. Composed at Cambridge University
