Datta, Rabindranath (Roby Datta) - ZaunköniG - 28.08.2022 Rabindranath Datta Roby Datta (1883–1918) Indien Sir Asutosh Mookerjee. He rose, a meteor, in the midst of men To awe the world with splendour: many a star, That might in other skies have shone afar, Beside him paled, and swam not into ken. His lore with glory fill'd the quarters then, And won him such a name as nought could mar: He fought, and gain'd success without a scar, A valiant knight, whose weapon was his pen. Good-temper'd, even-minded, patient, wise, He lent his aid wherever he could meet A man of promise that deserved to rise: In dealing justice fairly, none could beat His breadth of view, and none the solemn guise In which all fine distinctions he would greet. . RE: Datta, Rabindranath (Roby Datta) - ZaunköniG - 28.08.2022 Indians at the Front. Fight for the cause of Britain and of right, Ye Indians brave, and lay the tyrant low, A 'cultured' yet at heart a savage foe, That dares astound the world with ruthless might. For peace, for commerce and for freedom fight, Fight to relieve a hapless nation's woe, That in the cause of all the world did throw Her lot in with your king in terror's spite. Your country needs no tyrant's lip-deep lore Her old enlightenment to vindicate, That placed her high among the states of yore: For valour India always has been great, And ye are India's sons, and—what is more— Fit partners of a world-embracing State. . |
