We Shall.




Thou knowest all - I cannot see.
I trust I shall not live in vain,
I know that we shall meet again
In some divine eternity.

Oscar Wilde




When the brown branches shall bear the red flowers,
Then, my Love,
We shall meet


Then, we shall meet


When the koonj (cranes) shall return from their journey,
Filling the world with their joyous cackles,
Then, my Love,
We shall meet.


Then, we shall meet


When this forlorn cheek of mine has soaked
all tears trailing from my eyes,
Then, my Love,
We shall meet.


Then, we shall meet 


This gulf of separation is a folly of the fool
Hence,
We shall meet.


Then, we shall meet
