Spgm 012 - The Southern Breeze Came Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

The crystal clear water, the white lily,
The lily's open petals, the lotus blown fully,
The water-flowers in the fields,
The unopened flower buds,
The pandanus flower's white petals,
The flowers like garland of pearls,

The juice of these flowers drank the bees,
Now searched for the sweet smells,
That came from the hairs of the girls,
But couldn't find the way to reach them.

Side by side these disappointed bees
There came the Southern breeze,
Which entered thru' the windows,
Of that house, screened with bead-rows.

Kannagi and Kovalan welcomed,
The arrival of the Southern wind,
That kindled their feelings of love,
To its extreme height somehow.

To the seventh floor they went,
In the open terrace they spent
Their unforgettable moments happily
Went under the cool-moon lovely.
