The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 8/Writings: Prose And Poems/To Shri Krishna

by Swami Vivekananda

To Shri Krishna 

(A Song in Hindi) 

O Krishna, my friend, let me go to the water,

O let me go today.

Why play tricks with one who is already thy slave?

O friend, let me go today, let me go.

I have to fill my pitcher in the waters of the Jumna.

I pray with folded hands, friend, let me go.
