"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

He was last in sleep cried the world is cheap of cheap

Promises aren't worldly deeds but all gravely needs!...

Bearing the complexion
Of our cherished sublimity;
We saw perfection in the brief smiles;
Come to us again, Narang come!
Come with all the arts of India:
Another eagle is flying to the Iroko;
She flies singing a different song;
Seeking her perfection from nature....
