When heaven's gate opens



(115)  Varasar rate tumi esechile

On a rainy night You came
In the garden of tuberoses.[1]
I was in a huff,
In my bolted house.
In a tiny nook, I bode.

Storm after storm came.
Blow after blow was felt.
Still, throughout the night, You kept awake
At the music concert.

Torrential rains came pouring down,
Gust after gust was felt.
Yet, throughout the night, You kept awake
In a sweet love chorus.

For a stormy night you came
In the garden of tuberoses.
I was unaware,
In my bolted house.
The tuberoses, they took notice.
