আপনারে তুমি লুকাবে কেমন করে
     হে তাপসী বিভাবরী,
হেরো তারাগুলি তব নীরবতা ভ'রে
     দিতেছে প্রকাশ করি।

THE RIVER is grey and the air dazed with blown sand.
        On a morning of dark disquiet, when the birds are mute and their nests shake in the gust, I sit alone and ask myself, 'Where is she?'
        The days have flown wherein we sat too near each other; we laughed and jested, and the awe of love's majesty found no words at our meetings.
        I made myself small, and she trifled away every moment with pelting talk.
To-day I wish in vain that she were by me, in the gloom of the coming storm, to sit in the soul's solitude.

THE FIRE OF pain traces for my soul
a luminous path across her sorrow.
