THE stars about the lovely moon
Fade back and vanish very soon,
How still,
How strangely still
Ishq Mujhko Nahin, Vehshat Hi Sahi Meri Vehshat Teri Shohrat Hi Sahi
Too far for you to see
The fluke and foot-rot and the fat maggot

To the solemn sea the old women come With their shawls knotted around their necks
God made them very beautiful, the trees:
He spoke and gnarled of bole or silken sleek
‘Stamos em pleno mar… Doudo no espaço
Brinca o luar — dourada borboleta;
Thy summer voice, Musketaquit,
Repeats the music of the rain;
Dear Trout Fishing in America:
At the dawning of the day,
On the road to Gunnedah,
A drop fell on the apple tree
Another on the roof;
Three triangles of birds crossed
Over the enormous ocean which extended
The dawn is smiling on the dew that covers
The tearful roses; lo, the little lovers
Heart it is, not a brick or stone
Why shouldn't it feel the pain?
O Child beside the Waterfall what songs without a word
By channels of coolness the echoes are calling,
And down the dim gorges I hear the creek falling;
WHEN the pine tosses its cones
To the song of its waterfall tones,
Let us remember Spring will come again To the scorched, blackened woods, where the wounded trees
All morning in the strawberry field
They talked about the Russians.
The sunlight on the garden
Hardens and grows cold,
Baazi-cha-aie-Atfal Hai Dunia, Mere Aage Hota Hai Shaboroze Tamasha Mere Aage
A silence slipping around like death,
Yet chased by a whisper, a sigh, a breath...
One must have a mind of winter To regard the frost and the boughs
For Zeus chose us a King of the flowers in his mirth, He would call to the rose, and would royally crown it;
After the burial-parties leave
And the baffled kites have fled;
Era el crepúsculo de la iguana.
Desde la arcoirisada crestería
Sakhiya Wah Ghar Sabse Nyara, Jaha Puran Purush Humara

We left Little Redfish for Lake Josephus, traveling along the
good names--from Stanley to Capehorn to Seafoam to the
Beloved of the rivers,beset By azure water and transparent drops,
