I shall not go
Today in this moon lit night
Everybody has gone to the green,
When the spring has raised
A fragrant, maddening wind.
But I will not go,
Stay indoor in a lonely show,
being self oblivious.
I have to clean and wash my abode so carefully'
I shall have to keep me awakecheerfully;
At any moment my visitor may step in
if per chance he/she remebers me.
In this maddening spring wind
Everybody has gone o the green.
I will not go, stay in.
following a TAGORE SONG
