Natrinai 263

Please mote. Your eyebrow like crescent has lost its beauty. Bangles in hand are slipping. We try to hide the news with coy. But the village is murmuring the clandestine relation between you and your lover.
The pregnant female crane sitting in farm longs for eating sea fish. It could not fly to a distance. The male crane fetches the sea-fish to its female. Your man is the owner of such area. We like to hide the murmuring news to him. But the tears in your eyes betray your feelings.
The lady speaks the matters to her friend-maid. It is their intention; the man hearing in a distance should marry the lady.
 
male, female, young cranes 
Poet:  Ilaveyinanar 
This is a poem of second century B.C.
