You Return With the Scent of Rajanigandha
Rajanigandha, your favorite flower
you wore in curls on your ebony hair,
gliding to girdle your swan neck,
the only unfaded picture I have of you.
On your portrait smiling on the wall
I place a garland of this snow-white flower
every night … I feel you return
with the scent of your beloved flower.
* The English name of Rajanigandha is Tuberose
which is a night-blooming flower.
