Oh honey child!


Oh honey child!

Whither are you going?

Your wedding cakes are on the hearth

Thither they are glowing.

      

People are coming

To bless you

For your bliss ahead

Oh honey child!

Whither are you going?

 

Your wedding gown

Decked up with 

The choicest of jewels

Waits in silence

To witness 

As your accompaniment

The storm of joy

Of merriment

And good hope

Oh honey child!

Whither are you going?

 

The honey bride says

I know not what calls me

To the nature's lap

The woods 

So dense and deep

Periwinkles and wild roses

Daisies and vivid poses

Of the sceneries 

Of Mother nature

Oh mother

I know not

My feet are chasing

Someone unknown

 

 

Oh honey child

Marriage is bliss

Why do you face away

And give

Your life's fortunes

A 'sad' miss?

The master groom comes

Lay your hands on his

Exchange the garlands

Of love and life's vows

Find your way

Merrily with his

Oh honey child

Handsomely would he come

And take you 

For he is your loving bridegroom

Honey child'honey child!

Whither are you going?

The spirits of joy

The scent of

Blissful solitude

And beautiful happiness

The song 

Of the koil scented 

Riverbank

And the unknown

Merry wilderness

Calls me

O mother

Not will I stay

I will go.....
