Sitting at the doorways of a day of long ago. Gave to each his portion, food and toil and fate. From the King upon the guddee to the Beggar at the gate. All things made he — Shiva the Preserver. Mahadeo ! Mahadeo ! he made all, — Thorn for the camel, fodder for the kine. And mother' s heart for sleepy head, O little son of mine ! Wheat he gave to rich folk, millet to the poor. Broken scraps for holy men that beg from door to door ; Cattle to the tiger, carrion to the kite. And rags and bones to... wicked wolves without the wall at night. Naught he found too lofty, none he saw too low — Parbati beside him watched them come and go ; Thought to cheat her husband, turning Shiv to jest — Stole the little grasshopper and hid it in her breast. So she tricked him, Shiva the Preserver. Mahadeo ! Mahadeo ! turn and see. Tall are the camels, heavy are the kine. But this was least of little things, O little son of mine ! When the dole was ended, laughingly she said, " Master, of a million mouths is not one unfed ?
