By M. SRI RAMAMURTI, M.A., LL.B
The night is giddy with the scent
Of unseen wild flowers.
Long and painful has been my vigil
And the tearful night is almost spent.
There is no hint still
Of my Love’s advent.
Thy sky is flooded to the brim
With the full moon’s soothing light,
But mine, alas, is dim
With a few feverish stars
Thy limbs in a shining garment
Beauty doth enfold.
Love hath left his eternal seal
In the rapture of thine eyes,
Divine, untold.
Sweet sakhi!
What precious craft.
Hath won for thee
The fadeless aureole of Love?
