Chapter 24 indian love song
indian love song
The island sleeps in the morning light,
The mighty branches drip the silence;
The peacock dances on the silky lawn,
A parrot quivered on a branch,
He screamed at his own figure on the mirror-like sea.
Here we moor the lonely ship,
Roaming forever hand in hand,
murmuring lip to lip,
Along the grass, along the dunes,
Tell how far the restless land is:
Only the two of us in the world
How hid far away under the peaceful tree,
Our love grew into an Indian star,
the fire of a burning heart,
There is a sparkling sea tide in my heart, and swift wings,
heavy branches, and lamenting hundred days
The good-feathered wild dove:
How souls wander when we die,
When the silence of evening hung over the sky,
The sleepy phosphorescence of the water reflects the blurred footprints.
