Gentle in approach it is not
Chilly Spring winds soon forgot

Scorching sun off cooling soil steams
Warming all the rivers and streams
Melting core of soft snow dreams

Songbirds practice their choral sounds
Joined by grasshoppers’ leaps and bounds
Insects build their own playgrounds

Chirruping crickets call their mates
Flowerbeds fill with garden snakes
Sweltry nights no heat abates...

Oh! I hear the bells toll again,
The morning birds awaken,
And my night is gone!!
Oh! let me sleep on,

Are interred without honours,
The nightingale's soporific melody,
Is drowned in the noise of anarchy,
The ambience so cool and pure,
Has turned too sweltry to endure,
I keep my eyes shut tight,
For in them I retain a slice of night....
