Bilhana Kavi - Black Marigolds


















... 
Even nowWhen slow rose-yellow moons looked out at nightTo guard the sheaves of harvest and mark downThe peach's fall, how calm she was and love worthy.Glass-coloured starlight falling as thin as dewWas wont to find us at the spirit's starving timeSlow straying in the orchard paths with love.
...
(translation by Mathers)
