TO A MIGRANT BIRD

By Kolapi, Darbar Sura Singh-ji, Prince of Lathi in Kathiawad, India

Translated from Gujarati by Ananda Coomaraswamy and Premanand V. Vaishya

The terrible darkness of life! the endless path before us!
(But when the destined task is altogether done, we shall return)—
Taking thy burden up, fly on, fly on
Wherever the winds shall waft thee, take thy rest, and be at peace

To the land of Kashmir, of sweet springs and balmy breezes!
Dear traveller! linger there in a land that is dear to me—
In a land of uttermost delight and honey-flowing groves,
Where shadows of clustered grapes are cast on crystal streams
