"iI,SHYAMA DANCE THERE.""AND^LETRendered from a Bengali Poem by the Swtml.: :~~Beauteous blossoms ravishing with perfume,Sw?ffms of maddened bees buzzing around ;The ^Iver moon a shower of smile,"fahtth dwellers of heavenSmile upon tho homes of earth ;The soft south-wind, whose magic touchOpe s memory s *f olds;Rivers and brooks, ripplinglakesWith Bnramaras * wheelingRound waving lotuses unnumbered ;Foaming cascades a streaming musicTo which echo mountain caves.Warblers, full of melody,Hidden in leaves, love discourse ;The rising orb, the painter divine,With golden brush but lightly touchesThe canvas earth,A wealth of colours floods the groundA museum of huesWaking upa sea of sentiments.TJie roll of thunder, the crash of clouds. *The war of elements covering earth and eky ;Darkness vomiting darkness,The Pralava f wind angrily roaring ;In bursts, flashes the blood-red, terrific lightning* A beetle somewhat like a bumble-bee, which lives solely onhoney.t The t kne of cosmic destruction.
