It Remained Forever

In the early morning The village singer was walking Through the dusty road, While walking, he was singing A sweet song with great joy and pleasure, I was listening to it With rapt attention from a nearby place, The melodious song was floating In the pleasant morning air And I felt every object of nature Was listening to it spellbound, The birds, the hedge crickets, the trees, the meadows, the ponds- All were absolutely charmed, The magnificent song created a divine atmosphere, Gradually the lovely song became obscure in my ears, As the great singer went away farther and farther, Finally I could hear it no more, But the wonderful song remained In my mind forever.
