Natrinai 89

Elephant yawns

The heroine and her maid are conversing.

There is no eastern wind after heavy rain. White snow clouds are crawling on the mount.

Winter starts.

The North wind flashing chillness attacks us.

It drops leaves of black-gram plants.

It sounds as an elephant yawns with sigh.

Furthermore, the evening time which disturbs the parting lovers also becomes.

What will we do without his presence?    

Poet: ILAMLULLUR KAVUTI
