Rabindranath Tagore - The Gardener LXXXI: Why Do You Whisper So Faintly lyrics

Why do you whisper so faintly in my ears, O d**h, my d**h? When the flowers droop in the evening and cattle come back to their stalls, you stealthily come to my side and speak words that I do not understand. Is this how you must woo and win me with the opiate of drowsy murmur and cold kisses, O d**h, my d**h? Will there be no proud ceremony for our wedding? Will you not tie up with a wreath your tawny coiled locks? Is there none to carry your banner before you, and will not the night be on fire with your red torch-lights, O d**h, my d**h? Come with your conch-shells sound- ing, come in the sleepless night. Dress me with a crimson mantle, grasp my hand and take me. Let your chariot be ready at my door with your horses neighing impatiently. Raise my veil and look at my face proudly, O d**h, my d**h!
