A Garland of Water Lilies
By Anonymous
21st CenturyWhen she is descending down from Heaven
She has acquired the lustre of stars and
Spread over to all quarters of the world.
When she spread over to all quarters, she has
Covered all beings of nature by her lustre, and
Caused loss to the darkness of the earth
The goddess of night has accepted
The goddess of dawn as her sister and
Both chased away the darkness with their radiance.
When the goddess of night kisses our eyes
Just as a bird in the nest we take our rest.
May the goddess be a benefactress to all beings!
These hamlets fall under a spell of silence
These beasts, birds and eagles are dreaming in a silent sleep
Even the hills, dales, trees and streams are quiet in silence.
O Night! you send those werewolves far away from us
O Night! you send those thieves far away from us ; and
O Night! shall you be auspicious always in a special way for us.
Here I see the darkness in her black sapphire attire
She is concealing many things from the view of my eyes
O Dawn! Clear all my debts and send her far away from me.
O Night! Maiden of Heaven! Fare well to Thee!
As you are leaving this place, please accept this offer
As a beautiful garland of water lilies to adorn thy finest breast..
