Last Year At My Workplace

There were meadows free to the far,            
Clean, green and quiet calm.
Pebbles and stones, scattered,
As in the blue sky’s stars’ view.

On a remote-side grew wild thorns high,
Played the bees and b‘flies and I;
And the good dog passing by had watched us
On his hurried walk
From an afar village
To the distant one.

By the broken-burnt mulberry,
Lone, half erect and half down,
Goats grazed with caws and sheep
And the old herdsman with his tiffin and cane,
Called, cried, whistled and ran.
