Purple Valley (Click for RY Deshpande's & Sri Aurobindo's comments.)

Purple valley,
My valley of beautiful sleep—
Where ridges
After green-shadowed ridges sweep

Down to the depths—
Where the wilderness-poppy thrives
And saturates the distance—
Where violet oblivion thrives

To outpace
The roaring wild wind’s tread—
Where red-gold sunset
And twilight orchid-shady wed.
