Black Marigolds (Chaurapanchasika) · 1919
15
Translated by E. Powys Mathers (Black Marigolds, 1919)
Even now
The pleased intimacy of rough love
Upon the patient glory of her form
Racks me with memory; and her bright dress
As it were yellow flame, which the white hand
Shamefastly gathers in her rising haste,
The slender grace of her departing feet.
