Give till ye go lean
A rough stone when gives and gets of girth lean,
Grounded by a grindstone begets good sheen.
A warrior wrestles till gravely wounded,
Victorious, shines forth O bleeding red.
Take elephant in rut, gone lean and mean,
It stands out on giving and gone serene.
Glitters a river gone lean in autumn
From fully flooded in monsoon season.
No phase of moon seems so incandescent
As one that hath gone leanest as crescent.
A young lass gone lean and pale post coitus,
A mother post birth, what a rare status!
Who so that hath given to one in want,
Gleams having given till gone lean and gaunt.
