Love poem Kurunthogai # 330

Friend! It seems that Pagantrai flower is not blooming at the way in which he is passing through.

It is flower blossoming in the evening.

It resembles mud-cleaner applied wet-cloth digging in the pond to rinse by Pulatthi (a woman who washes village peoples’ cloth by career)

It is a smell-less flower.

It has enormous nectar while blossoming.

(If it is on his way he could have remembered my position and return).          

Words by    - heroine

To whom    - her friend-maid

Context       - when the hero is away earning.
