Who dreads not fire - the most when it is swallowing
Woods after woods? And who revels not the most
When down the floating reserves begin pouring
Water that saves the lives, their woody host?
Burn does human anger like wildfire
And in that fire are ashed both burnt and burner,
While tears like flooding torrents douse the pyre
Before the both men that its flames do smother.
Or may devour its prey or stumbles on
Its tough begetter conceding defeat
Which breaks the bank of sorrow and affliction
Releasing tears to cool the mortal heat.
And bigger the wound, the stronger tears do flow
And stop not till they float you away from woe.
-- N. P. SAMAL
