When the Sun Sets
If thou not seen the village sunset
what else have thou seen!
The blazing sun,as if a boat in
ocean,
sails through the Heaven,
And sinks behind the trees at His
command.
Like a worker after the day's toil
returns home tiredly.
A reddish glow,mingled with darkness,
scatters over the lea,
And the heart bids good bye.
The trees dance no more,the tranquility
is deeper,
Birds are heard to chirp,seen to
flap and make haste homewards
to feed the babies unfed.
The sun-soaked-happy cattle return.
Meanwhile,some White Heads are
seen to walk as the dulcet note
blows from the dome.
