Songs to Myrtilla

Saraswati with the Lotus

(Bankim Chandra Chatterji. Obiit 1894)

Thy tears fall fast, O mother, on its bloom,

O white-armed mother, like honey fall thy tears;

Yet even their sweetness can no more relume

The golden light, the fragrance heaven rears,

The fragrance and the light for ever shed

Upon his lips immortal who is dead.
