POEM-4

The Darling Days with KASTHURI

Oh! those darling days!
When we sat beside
Each other, and worked our ways
With our Accounts' wide!

Oh! those happy hours!
Which we together passed—
Among the blooming flowers
Which in the breeze were tossed!

Oh! those molten moments!
When heart and heart sincerely spoke
Of the ‘Joys' and ‘Laments'
With which we were affected and broke!

Oh! that splendid time!
When we together read
Books of many a clime
By which we were lead!

Oh! that lovely loneliness—
That wrapped us together!
In the ‘Park' and the ‘Wilderness'
Where we longed to tread for ever!

Oh! engulfed in such seeping happiness—
During the decade and one years;
We glided in smooth calmness
Until now, when I am all but tears!
