from Sanskrit and Other Languages
II. From Bengali
XXXVIII
Season of honey when sweets combine,
Honey-bees line upon line,
From sweet blossoms honeyed feet
Honied blossoms and honey sweet.
And sweeter than these our Lord of May;
His maiden-train the sweets of earth,
Honey-girls with laughter and mirth,
Sports of love and dear delight,
When instruments honey-sweet unite
Their sounds soul-moving, and sweet, O sweet
The smitten hands and the pacing feet.
Sweet the swaying dancer whirls,
Honied the movement of dancing girls,
And sweet as honey the love-song rings.
