That Early Autumn's Night
That Early-Autumn's Night
.......................................
That early-autumn's night...
While your wrestler-like brothers played cards inside ,
Laughing aloud, till late night ;
I was shivering in cold-- Standing-hiding under the old deodar
In your fortress-like house's forest-like grassy yard.
Your landlord-like great-grandpa in the painting
Twirled his moustaches
Took me as a thief ;
While i raised my hands towards the starry sky
Seeing the sitting-by old-lion-like dog.
Man becomes mad --
In such strange fits in true love ;
FEAR bows down --
Fearing the fiery eyes !
