Indian Love Song

KE a serpent to the calling voice of flutes,

Glides my heart into thy fingers,

O my Love!

Where the night-wind, like a lover, leans above His jasmine-gardens and sirisha-bowers;

And on ripe boughs of many-coloured fruits Bright parrots cluster like vermilion flowers.

Like the perfume in the petals of a rose,

Hides thy heart within my bosom,

O my love!

Like a garland, like a jewel, like a dove That hangs its nest in the asoka-tree.

Lie still,

O love, until the morning sows Her tents of gold on fields of ivory.
