E-text prepared by Chris Curnow, Joseph Cooper, Sankar Viswanathan, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) SANDHYA SONGS OF TWILIGHT BY DHAN GOPAL MUKERJI AUTHOR OF "LAYLA-MAJNU" AND "RAJANI" NINETEEN SEVENTEEN PAUL ELDER AND COMPANY SAN FRANCISCO Copyright, 1917 By PAUL ELDER AND COMPANY SAN FRANCISCO TO MRS. HANCOCK BANNING MRS. WILLIAM CLARK, JR. FOREWORD Like "Rajani" [perhaps more than], "Sandhya" is a slender rill that has drawn its music from my Bengali which has told upon its English structure. This and many other faults of these poems are due to their unyielding adherence to spontaneity. "Sandhya" came then, as "Rajani" in its own way through the bed of my Bengali reflecting its sound and sense, and trying to echo back its music that descends on all with the fading twilight. Dhan Gopal Mukerji. Dhan Gopal Mukerji.
