The remaining lines were all about men who wanders in and out of the poet's house looking for water. The poem describes about the romanticism of village and its surroundings.

This is a noon for beggars with whining

Voices, a noon for men who come from hills

With parrots in a cage and fortune-cards,

All stained with time, for brown Kurava girls

With old eyes, who read palm in light singsong

Voices, for bangle-sellers who spread

On the cool black floor those red and green and blue

Bangles, all covered with the dust of roads,

Miles, grow cracks on the heels, so that when they

Clambered up our porch, the noise was grating,

Strange………  This is a noon for strangers who part

The window-drapes and peer in, their hot eyes

Brimming with the sun, not seeing a thing in

Shadowy rooms and turn away and look

So yearningly at the brick-ledged well.  This

Is a noon for strangers with mistrust in

Their eyes, dark, silent ones who rarely speak

At all, so that when they speak, their voices

Run wild, like jungle-voices. Yes, this is

A noon for wild men, wild thoughts, wild love. To

Be here, far away, is torture.  Wild feet

Stirring up the dust, this hot noon, at my

Home in Malabar, and I so far away ……..
