Question

Autumn

THE autumn comes, a maiden fair

In slenderness and grace,

With nodding rice - stems in her hair

And lilies in her face.

In flowers of grasses she is clad;

And as she moves along,

Birds greet her with their cooing glad

Like a bracelet’s tinkling song.

A diadem adorns the night !

Of multitudinous stars;

Her silken robe is white moonlight,

Set free from cloudy bars;

And on her face (the radiant moon)

Bewitching smiles are shown :

She seems a slender maid, who soon

Will be a woman grown.

- Kalidas
