we are going
this day in the gentle light
master and bullock
down the dusty path
an anonymous villager
and his sturdy bullock
far in a village in India
for there's work to be done
like many a villager has done
and beast and master
out determined in the days
when the land must be worked
to nurture its people
across China, Egypt and Mesopotamia
and nameless lands
they have done this
and we do
now this day that is ours
through the winding ways
to the fields
to the end of the day
I the villager and you the bullock
Come, we shall work the fields
as countless have done
and as many more will come to do
The poet has focused the realistic of the Indian villages could be seen commonly even nowadays. It is well that one could understand the country's culture with the interspersed than to the text. Anglo Indians were interspersed with the natives, so, there is no necessity to add more and more about them. They must know the cultures, customs of our people. Being, understand that this poetic is an Anglo Indian, because, this would help him to know about our culture more easy.
