Daydream

(613)  Tomare khunjechi krsna tithite

I have looked for Thee
On gloomy days
And on dark nights absent of sleep,
Heart full of pain.
I have gazed on Thee
At the springtime of my psyche
In a fragrant flower garden
Touched by a vernal breeze
With sweet baritone lovesong.

I have looked for Thee
In cloud-cooled rainy season
When my psychic peacock prances and sings,
Calling out to some remote unknown,
Like a screwpine stamen on the branch of a neep tree.^[1]

I have gazed on Thee
On full-moon nights
In Your form sparkling bright
And with luster that is dreamy.
