On Riverside
ON RIVERSIDE
Come My Dear under the shady tree
on riverside of Ganges on frolic flow.
Sit beside and look at me in glee
My glances will sink in your glances to glow.
Come My Dear under the azure sky
on beautiful bank where the Ganges flow
Speak and open your love, don’t feel shy.
My eager ears to listen though voice is low.
Come My Dear on quiet riverside
where glorious gracious river Ganges flow
We two lovers to sail on boat ride.
Little brittle ripples will dance:I will row.
Come My Dear where cooing doves make love
on lonely riverbank where the Ganges flow.
Cheerful chirping sparrows to observe.
Outstanding conflict between cuckoo and crow.
Come My Dear on river quay where wonderful Ganges flow,
Hesitant crescent Moon to spread beam dim drowsy pale yellow.
