AUTUMN

by: Kalidasa (c. 500)

•  

  THE autumn comes, a maiden fair

  In slenderness and grace,

  With nodding rice-stems in her hair

  And lilies in her face.

  In flowers of grasses she is clad;

  And as she moves along,

  Birds greet her with their cooing glad

  Like bracelets’ tinkling song.

   

  A diadem adorns the night

  Of multitudinous stars;

  Her silken robe is white moonlight,

  Set free from cloudy bars;

  And on her face (the radiant moon)

  Bewitching smiles are shown:

  She seems a slender maid, who soon

  Will be a woman grown.

   

  Over the rice-fields, laden plants

  Are shivering to the breeze;

  While in his brisk caresses dance

  The blossomed-burdened trees;

  He ruffles every lily-pond

  Where blossoms kiss and part,

  And stirs with lover’s fancies fond

  The young man’s eager heart.
