Don'T Bid Me Farewell Poem by Ratnakar Rout

My stay comes to an end today
So soon this day will come I never knew
But it came as usual, as you know.
When I was engrossed in knowing you
Reading you from the core
Learning things which you shared with me
the end came. However, I don't mind
to candidly express the feelings I gathered
in these days. Let me speak out
otherwise I may not excuse myself
for withholding my gratitude
for the magnanimity you had shown
in receiving and rearing me
so nicely here on my arrival.
Let me tell you very honestly
your benevolence made me spellbound
and addicted to remain attached to you for years.
Your quiet cold gentle wind touched me so passionately
and caressed me so gently
in spite of the inclement weather
I shall carry such incredible feelings
all the way as a treasure of my life.
Though I am to depart since the end
of the journey never waits, I shall
remain all along here around with you
so as you with me there.
At this moment of despair
please do me a favour my dear
which I sincerely wish before my departure,
ask your wonderful wind to move towards east
and carry your feelings to reach me there.
Don't bid me farewell Somerville(College) my dear
since I shall always wait to receive your message there
and we will remain in touch forever.
