Strew on her the flowers,
the flowers and the drops of dew-
quietly she adorns a happy smile ,
how i wish i could too.

She throws at me a glance, 
a glance with a soulful hue-
Ah!my slumber melts: a mellowed mist
for me that's nothing new.

My eyes gaze into the heavens ,
the heavens with pleas a few-
a wish ungranted: they seek about,
for the divine that hath it slew.

The loving heart does bleed ,
does bleed and pine for her-
the drops of red with every beat ,
only her name do utter.

My cheeks are bedewed ,
are bedewed by the sulky drops-
my heart her abode a patient one;
waiting till the time it stops.

She's away from me I know 
I know she loves me despite;
the body's bound in mortal fetters 
but who can stall the soul's flight?

Up I go and far away,
far away in the blinding blues-
groping for my estranged love :
whom I'd wished i never lose ..
