Love
Epigram VI
Translated by Paul Elmer More (1898) · From A Century of Indian Epigrams (1898)
Love
'T is earth's Renewal: now the fluttering breeze,
Blown from the snowy hills
And filtered through the blooming mango trees,
The world with sweetness fills.
Now the mad bees are stung with brisk alarm;
And the wild cuckoos charm
The woods with singing, Well! ah well! 'tis well!
We yield to Kama's spell!
