Where Along a Calm Creek

Where in vast meadows, herders site and rear hairy goats In valley’s highs, hitherto the machines couldn't make. Where water falls high, buffaloes graze and free horses run. Where apart of the urban din cedars play the soothing music And the summers-birds sing in joy. Where a shallow stream rushes under chinars’ shade And the morning-sun’s rays play with the pebbles at her bed. Where in a village following the forests, the lovers gossip in moon light. Where on a summer’s midday, sheep champ in shade and the shepherd is long asleep. Or where along a calm creek, sparrows live on an old-willows’ clump, There, my Lord of Love! Let I, Thee and She celebrate.
