I was walking by the road
I do not know why
when the noonday was past and bamboo branches rustled in the wind
They told me
This is time to show my appreciation to you, my teacher
The prone shadows with their out retched arms clung to the feet of the hurrying light
The koels were weary of their songs
I was walking by the road
I do not know why
The hut by the side of the water is shaded by an overhanging tree
Someone was busy with her work
And her bangles made music in the corner
They seem told me
This is time to show my appreciation to you, my teacher
I stood before this hut
I know not why
The narrow winding road crosses many a mustard field
And many a mango forest
When the noonday was past and mango branches rustled in the wind
They told me
This is time to show my appreciation to you, my teacher
