_FOREWORD_
_Like "Rajani" [perhaps more than], "Sandhya" is a slender rill that has drawn its music from my Bengali which has told upon its English structure. This and many other faults of these poems are due to their unyielding adherence to spontaneity._
_"Sandhya" came then, as "Rajani" in its own way through the bed of my Bengali reflecting its sound and sense, and trying to echo back its music that descends on all with the fading twilight._
DHAN GOPAL MUKERJI.
_N. B._--_Since some of these poems were born without, and defy titles, I have refrained from forcing any on them._
