Ode To Hilda
ODE TO HILDA
( Hilda - Women Hostel at the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka)
-Mathi - Warden-
By the river of Mahaweli,
Along the Galaha Road,
Stood the Women's hostel,
With the name Hilda Obeysekera.
Eight winged Massive Hilda,
Steered by Aggressive Mathi,
Harboured the damsels of the nation,
Striving to achieve their goals.
From various walks of life they came,
Lodging together under the same roof,
Forgetting their backgrounds & differences,
Accepting Mathi as their mother of Mothers.
High table dinners, parties, and girlish follies,
Are few experiences Hilda offered,
Social life was just an alien myth,
But Hilda made these teens to learn and live.
