Praj'S that Radha's tender moan In your hearts be thought upon. And that all her holy grace Live there like the loved one's face. Yet, if I wrong him (sang she) — can he fail ? Could any in the wood win back his kisses 1 Could any softest lips of earth prevail To hold him from my arms 1 any love-blisses Blind him once more to mine ? O Soul, my prize ! Art thou not merely hindered at this hour ? Sore- wearied, wandering, lost ? how otherwise Shouldst thou not hasten to the bridal-bower ? But see...ing far away that Maiden come Alone, with eyes cast down and lingering steps, Again a little while she feared to hear Of Krishna false ; and her quick thoughts took shape In a fine jealousy, with words like these — THE INDIAN SONG OF SONGS. 07 Something then of earth has held him From his home above, Some one of those slight deceivers — Ah, my foolish love ! Some new face, some winsome playmate, With her hair untied. And the blossoms tangled in it, Woos him to her side. ■ On the dark orbs of her bosom — Passionately heaved — Sink and rise the warm, white pearl-strings, Oh, my love deceived !
