About the Author:
Samarender Reddy completed his graduation in Medicine from Gandhi Medical College, Hyderabad. However, this was not to be his profession. He found himself becoming more inclined towards the social sciences and, after spending a year at home where he studied the field on his own, he went to the United States to specialize in Economics.

O beauteous and wondrous form
O beauteous and wondrous form
Caught in yonder starlit night
Enwrapt in the stillness of the late hour;
O beauteous and wondrous form
Peeping through this field of grain
Drenched to the root in dazzling sunlight;
O beauteous and wondrous form
Gliding along that eagle’s wing
Flapping and circling in defiant flight;
Will you not come here and alight
Will you not on my canvas reside?
