> For when the weary night had worn away  
> In these vain fears, and the clear morning broke,  
> Lo, Krishna! lo, the longed-for of her soul  
> Came too!--in the glad light he came, and bent  
> His knee, and clasped his hands; on his dumb lips  
> Fear, wonder, joy, passion, and reverence  
> Strove for the trembling words, and Radha knew  
> Peace won for him and her; yet none the less  
> A little time she eluded him, and sang:  
> — Edwin Arnold 1875, The Indian Song of Songs
