Excerpt from Lakmé: Opera in Three Acts
Thrice blessed may you be, \vho faithful homage render To heaven's high priest in me, Reviled, scoffed at, and outraged! Of our base victors, the sway 'll weary out, sure, though slowlv They have driven our gods away From the ancient temples holy. But Brahma o'er their heads His vengeance has suspended W'hen that explodes and spreads. Our bondage will be ended! In my dwelling here, today, I saw God's power displaying. Up to him I soared away, While I heard my daughter praying.
