Bamboo dance in rain

  
Bamboo dance in rain

Shyama Prasad Laha    
Bankura

The dungeon night was dark
And horrible was the Horror Park
The gate was locked save the sky
Yet I listened the hooting- spy

Twigs of Lunar light from lighthouse
Stretched its hands to catch fish
I saw a girl single in the park field
Look! She took the grass to kiss.

Her eyes were red with fire
Thunder and lightning!
Yet I admired her hair
Mysterious and stunning.

Under the Olive she sat
On a camp-chair with a lamp post
Solitary nocturnal girl suddenly
Became an apparition of rain-ghost.

It was raining as she was dancing
Frog came to jump; snake came to hiss; rattling leaves began to fall
Drops of blood beacons the flood.

Hush! She had a single leg!
She had gone to collect the another
From door to door; all in a sleep
So, she took a bamboo for her.

Now the bamboo dance in rain
She felt mighty pleasure plain
Ghost society began to tell....
"What a brain!! what a brain!!......"
