Lone Sailor

LONE SAILOR          

                             Restless river ceaseless flows.
                             Boatman floats boat and rows.
                             Me!  A lone sailor rowing boat on tears just aimless 
   
                             Ruffling water on stroke of oar.
                             Brittle ripples thrash on shore.
                           Haply you have come to lend your hand! My princess.

                            Boat raising little splashing sound.
                             Breeze blows, leaves murmur around.
                             You boarded my boat, wiped my tears! Joy is boundless

                             Restless river runs and rushes,
                              makes way through bushes
                             Now I know, life is majestic, wonderful, peerless.

                               Passing towns, or farming land
                              on river bank or solitary strand.
                            On joint journey, we are free and careless.

                              Restless river turns back never,
                               but flows and flows for forever.
                            I wish you should come in my young days to impress.
