Original Assamese poem by Revered poet Hiren Bhattacharyya

Seasons on Poetic Depiction

 

1. Monsoon

 

Mellowing tune of flute of wind

Has blown athrough the Sal forest.

Wind of monsoon is as if a tragic lover

Whose bosom is full of benign smiles

Of sorrows and of joys as well.

 

2. Winter

 

Leaves have fallen.

With their bare bodies trees are sunbathing.

Sunbeams falling on dried up meadows

Are looking like embroidered silk.

At far behind

The riverine tune of solitude

Is embracing the hill looking like

The vying  pair of buffalo horns.

 

3. Spring

 

Oh there tinkles the rattle!

Carrying letters towards Chenimora garden

Has hurridly walked passed the postman.

Tinted kersieves adorn

Twigs and brunches of  trees.
