5. Sarangadhara I (1883)
Sarangadhara II (1883)
The labouring dawn gave out the child of
light
Whose infant became played over the river’s
breast
And woke the bees asleep in lotus bowers
While from Godavary’s bank in merry whirls
A thousand pigeons starred the sky.

7. 1. O Sir! What favour this! Sooner we though
Could Sampang blooms invite the bee, than thee
2. And lo! That Malati twinning as it does
the Kulaya’s tall and aged trunk hold up
3. “Mother! Wrongly
You read the sense of all those wondro
Of great Gopal. Didst thou not hear it sa
That spirit of good husbands the human

8. “A brute is he that having power to soothe
Lends not his tender aid? O! Save me dear”
And he like one
From midnight slumbers to moonlight bowers
But lo! Presently at his side the Queen,
Her ringlets flying to the morning breeze
Like water nymph or forest Drayd stepped

9. Translations into English
Beautiful are the Blue Hills
The wonders of Ooty
Worship the Lord of Uma
The word of Long Ago
Is there no Magic
I took You for a Picture

10. Beautiful are the Blue Hills
Beautiful are the Blue Hills
And their beauty gladdens the
heart. Verily this is the garden
Of the Gods, and gods and sages
love to roam here

11. “Last night I locked
the thought of her,
Within the dungeon
of my heart
But what a daring
thief that was
He ran away with the
prison itself.”

12. The Emeralds
Under the bowers
where the Ocean Powers
Sit on their Pearled thrones
Through Coral woods
Of welteing floods,
Over heaps of unvalued stones;
Through the dim beams
Which amid the streams
Weave a network of coloured light,

13. Tell me not in scornful numbers
Congress is an ‘empty’ show
For though many a delegate slumbers
Seats are ‘full’ in every row
Congress is earnest! Congress is real
Self-government is its goal
Action said, a high ideal
Is always good for the human soul
In the congress field of battle,
In constitutional strife
Indulge internal rattle
Never lift a chair for strife

16. Wordsworth
The Language of Poetry
Wordsworth has romantic and
revolutionary views about the
language of poetry. He revolts
against the artificial language of
18th century. He recommends the
ordinary language that is used in
daily conservation for poetry. In
his view this is more effective.

17. TO THE CUCKOO
O BLITHE New-comer! I have
heard,
I hear thee and rejoice.
O Cuckoo! shall I call thee Bird,
Or but a wandering Voice?
While I am lying on the grass
Thy twofold shout I hear,
From hill to hill it seems to pass,
At once far off, and near.
