Question

Pink are the young leaves,

Bright and cool

As the quiet waters

Of a jungle pool.

Loud calls the Koel

From the tree.

At dawn and in the sun- light

And at dusk calls he

Peasants plough slowly

Earth’s parched crust,

Tilling the soil slowly

Earth’s parched crust,

Tilling the soil

Ere green blades thrust.

Rain cascades earthwards,

Wild winds sing.

Bold and fierce yet lovely

Is the Indian Spring.
