There
On the sea-shore
On the rocks
The waves keep crashing
...
Past midnight
When clouds gather in the sky
And shut off the stars,
I can hear the rustling of the wind
...
Snapped: Common chords.
Memories waning with time.
When I am an old decrepit man,
Bleary eyed,
...
She hugged me, she kissed me
She would not let me go
And when she parted company
Her memory would not go!
...
Fishes leap in the rivers:
On the horizon
The clouds gather.
...
In the mist
The stalk of the bhuj **
Stands wet and cold,
Lonely and pale,
...
Mnemosyne, give me sleep!
Two pairs of eyes
Haunt me through the night!
...
The mountains do not shiver
Nor the trees, nor the valleys
Only the flame of a lamp
From a distant cottage
...
