A Temple Beside a Pond

A Temple Beside The Pond A temple beside the pond, Surrounded with date trees; And trees loaded with flowers, Receiving cold cool breeze. Coming across the acres of farmers land From grove of mango trees, To this holy peaceful place from home, A narrow spiral way leads. The pond itself adorned with lotuses, Many water plants and weeds. Halt for thirsty castles and tired villagers, Pleasure of fishing and diving exceeds; Fragrances of flowers and fireflies at night Stand the place in good stead.
