THE VIVEKANANDA ROCK
(Kanyakumari)
Prof. K. B. Sitaramayya
At the Land’s end is the Soul’s End,
The rock that stands every human shock
Stands beckoning him that understands,
Calls him from all that is false.
It calls them too, they are not a few,
Whom divine beauty from human duty draws,
Whose joys spring from no little toys:
They see the sun and moon rise and set
And rise again in all their glory there
They that seek escape also visit the Cape,
To ferry to the rock makes them merry.
Among them all you sometimes find a soul
Finding a balm for all ills in the Calm
May suddenly discover its destined goal.
