\n(Radha’s Complaint<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nLove, but my words are vain as air!<\/span><\/p>\n

\nIn my sweet joyous youth, a heart untried,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThou tookst me in Love’s sudden snare,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThou wouldst not let me in my home abide.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nAnd now I have nought else to try,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nBut I will make my soul one strong desire<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAnd into Ocean leaping die:<\/span><\/p>\n

\nSo shall my heart be cooled of all its fire.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nDie and be born to life again<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAs Nanda’s son, the joy of Braja’s girls,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAnd I will make thee Radha then,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nA laughing child’s face set with lovely curls.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nThen I will love thee and then leave;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nUnder the codome’s boughs when thou goest by<\/span><\/p>\n

\nBound to the water morn or eve,<\/span><\/p>\n

\nLean on that tree fluting melodiously.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nThou shalt hear me and fall at sight<\/span><\/p>\n

\nUnder my charm; my voice shall wholly move<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThy simple girl’s heart to delight;<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThen shalt thou know the bitterness of love.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n(From an old Bengali poem<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n
