We had quite a few people guess our mystery verse last week! It comes from a particularly poignant and heartfelt poem, the "Harvest Hymn" by Sarojini Nadu.
We bring thee our thanks and our garlands for tribute, The wealth of our valleys, new-garnered and ripe; O sender of rain and the dewfall, we hail thee, We praise thee, Varuna, with cymbal and pipe.
Harvest Hymn by Sarojini Naidu

This week's mystery verse brings with it a touch of the heavens. Can you guess the poem and author? Leave your best guess in the comments!
Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
