‘To Renascent Andhra’
BY PROF. RAYAPROLU SUBBA RAO 1
(Translated from Telugu by K. L. R.)
Look, the paths of heaven are free from clouds; our hopes rise forth to regions beyond ken; serene are the waters of the stream of Life; a new effulgence radiates the earth; and the garden has blossomed into flowers of new aspirations.
Behind the dark veil of the night, beyond the dewy curtains, far away, there shines a form divine, the quintessence of Light.
And your sisters have started before you on the journey.
Come, dear child!
